[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#456992: smbfs: mount.cifs fails with "mount error: could not find target server. TCP name ... not found"

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.28-1~lenny1
Severity: serious

I have just upgraded from 3.0.27a-1 to this version, and now when I
try to mount my Samba partition, I get the following error:

euclid:~ # mount -t cifs //WGS-SVR-001/RMStaff /mnt/wggs/rmstaff -o credentials=/etc/wggs.credentials,uid=jdg,gid=jdg
mount error: could not find target server. TCP name WGS-SVR-001/RMStaff not found
No ip address specified and hostname not found
euclid:~ # 

Any idea why this might be the case?  I've never seen this error
before, and I can list the partition just fine.

Also: smbclient --user jgi --command=dir //WGS-SVR-001/RMStaff
works just fine.
