Hi,

I cannot get FreeBSD 10's smbfs client to work with my server -- an Apple time
capsule 4th generation version 7.6.4.

Here are the commands I ran, to reproduce the issue:
# uname -a
FreeBSD  10.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0 r274401: Tue Nov 11
21:02:49 UTC 2014
root at releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
# mount_smbfs -R 16 //lamb at Meganium/Data /mnt
Password:
# dd if=/mnt/afile bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/null
dd: /mnt/afile: No such file or directory

For the FreeBSD 10 session, I tried to capture the raw packets, using tcpdump,
in file bad.tcpdump.


This works with FreeBSD 9.  For this working session, I tried to capture the
raw packets, using tcpdump, in file good.tcpdump.

# uname -a
FreeBSD  9.3-STABLE FreeBSD 9.3-STABLE #0: Wed Dec 24 16:16:05 EST
2014     kirk at freenas:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
# mount_smbfs -R 16 //lamb at Meganium/Data /mnt
Password:
# dd if=/mnt/afile bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/null
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1 bytes transferred in 0.000345 secs (2899 bytes/sec)


The two raw packets dumps are in this archive:

Any pointers how to get his working?
The server appears to be returning an ERRbadpath error.
