[PLUG] Samba changes in Ubuntu Jaunty

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@gmail.com>]

Since upgrading Intrepid->Jaunty I can't mount the windows shares.  The fstab 
syntax didn't change on my end and the lines are the same I am using on two 
other computers.

Did they change the mount.cifs syntax in the change from the previous version 
of samba?  

Installing samba returns

tdbsam_open: Converting version 0 database to version 4.

returning 0                                                                      
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 2 (password history),

Trying to mount the shares returns:

Did they implement AD domain by default?  Would changing my jaunty box 
password to my AD password help?  Do I need to change the fstab syntax?

Here are a couple of examples of my current syntax:

//sloth/user/Art /mnt/H cifs 
file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,user=art@RHD.ORG,password=<my_ad_password>,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto,rw,user,guest 
0 0

The one above mounts a share that is owned by me, i.e. my AD account.

//sloth/user /mnt/U cifs 
file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,user=administrator@RHD.ORG,password=<domain_admin_pwd>,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto,rw,user,guest 
0 0

This one is supposed to mount with the domain administrator permissions.

Both work on an Intrepid and a Hardy box.  I confirmed that I am user 1000 on 
this machine.
