No dice. The problem that I keep running into is that mount_smbfs never
looks in any of the nsmb.conf files. If I use addr in nsmb.conf and
don't specify -I it tells me it can't get the server address. If I use
workgroup instead of -W I get an authentication error. -N also produces
an authentication error. It only works if I put everything on the
command line and give it the password manually. Plaintext vs scrambled
password doesn't seem to make a difference.
