[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#480995: smbfs: Fails to mount.cifs etch samba server in 2.6.25

[Tarek Soliman]

Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.28-2+b1
Severity: important

After upgrading to 2.6.25, I can no longer mount my etch samba server share using mount.cifs from my unstable laptop
 
The following error is given
  mount error 20 = Not a directory
  Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

Booting in 2.6.24 mounts it fine.

Windows XP shares are not affected. 

Doing the following allows me to mount
  echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled
