A quick look at the source shows instances of gethostbyname(), and it likely also does not support connecting to port 445 without netbios (as required for cifs/smb over IPv6) This bug is more important (IMHO) now as Samba has gone mainstream with IPv6 support with the 3.2 release. >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to mount any IPv6 accessible share with mount_smbfs (requires either Samba 3.2 IPv6 enabled server, or a Windows Server 2003/2008 IPv6 configuration) >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
