	Latest Samba is 2.0.4b, but since I haven't made any changes to
smbmount in that time frame, it shouldn't make any difference.

	Questions, questions, questions...

	What version of NT?

	What service pack level?

	Is the NT box set for encrypted passwords only?

	What Linux distribution?

	What kernel version?

	What error messages do you get back?

	What is your command line?
