We have an Active Directory with about 2000 users in it. Usernames are in the form firstname.lastname When trying to mount a share with a username creating a dot, I get ERRDOS, even when I'm positive that I have the right password. I've tried double- and single-quoting the username, as well as escaping the dot thus: firstname\.lastname but nothing has worked. I know I have rwx rights to the shares I'm trying to mount, but I can' t mount them from any Linux machine. By contrast, I can mount using OS X, so it's not a generic unix problem (I think).
Here's the mount command I've been using: mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/smb -o username=user.name which won't work, but mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/smb -o username=username works. Thanks in advance for any help you might have.
