[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#431661: smbmount options uid=, gid= stopped working after upgrading smbfs to version 3.0.25b-1+b1

[Ian MacKinnell]

Package:   smbfs
Version:    3.0.25b-1+b1

smbmount options uid=,gid= stopped working after upgrading smbfs to 
version 3.0.25b-1+b1

Until I upgraded smbfs yesterday, I was able to mount shares on remote 
Linux Samba servers with the options uid= and gid= working. Moreover, 
these options still work fine from other smbfs client PCs in our office 
that have not upgraded smbfs (connecting to the same servers). We have 
made no recent changes to the smb.conf on our servers.

But since upgrading smbfs, when I mount shares with smbmount I can only 
see the uid and gid of the file owner(s) on the server (2058 and 2026, 
instead of 1000 and 100, as it happens).

I am using a fully up-to-date Debian GNU/Linux testing (Lenny), kernel 
2.6.18.dfsg.1-12 and libc6 2.5-9+b1

This may be a consequence of action taken over #408033?
