SMBFS - Usernames with @

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
Have you tried doing:
mount_smbfs -U PQuerna at carroll.edu -I saints //server/username$
/mnt/carroll/xdrive

At my university I have to use the -U parameter to access the server, I
don't know why but it works when I do... Also I have to add the -W flag to
set the correct workgroup.

Andrew
