Hi,

I've the same problem on RHEL 5.4 after samba update. I almost tried  
everything but I had to switch to -username=...,-password=... to get  
CIFS mount point to work. I opened a case which has been closed  
because a second system also running on RHEL 5.4 works with this update.

Hope they will fix this issue...
