Hi,
I tried the various suggestions from the last mails, but nothing of that worked. --verbose did not return anything useful. It's the kernel module that returns -EHOSTDOWN.
...
Eventually I found out that this one works:
mount.cifs //cl0/c /mnt -o servernetbiosname=CL0
So what did I change? Casing. Note that "CL0" is entirely uppercase. Although strange, it actually coincides with how LANMAN works. Everything is uppercased in lanman, hostnames, usernames, heck, even plaintext passwords (samba-smbd has a good time trying a ton of combinations in such setups).
No other options like sec=none or thelike were needed. Login as anonymous worked directly.
Please consider updating the cifs kernel module to account for the LM oddity of uppercasing things. (Then, smbfs can finally be ripped out I hope.)
