The client is a Fedora 11 system
Kernel version 2.6.30.10 release 105.2.23.fc11
mount.cifs and smbclient are in the samba-client package
version 3.4.7 release 0.50.fc11
smbclient works; mount.cifs does not.
The share is on a Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit system
What other information should I post?
