Hello,

I reproduced this here with the version in Sarge.
It looks like upstream (www.samba.org) will not investigate this kind of
bugs because smbfs is declared deprecated. see their bug 1920:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1920

The proposed solution is to use the new file system cifs. If you used
/etc/fstab, change the line accordingly, else use mount -t cifs or
mount.cifs.

cifs has no replacement for smbmount. If you want users to be able to
mount shares, you may want to make /sbin/mount.cifs setuid (WARNING: may
be a local security risk). To prevent dpkg to override it, you need to do
# dpkg-statoverride --add root root 4755 /sbin/mount.cifs

Hope this helps,
BC
