Why doesn't smbclient work?

Symptoms:
You can mount a NetApp 'shared drive' using the mount program fine.
But if you try to browse it using smbclient, you get this error when it fails to connect:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED

Cause:
A bug in Ubuntu 11.04

Workaround:
Change your hostname to a short string, without any hypens (dashes) in it!

(copy)

smbclient commands on linux

# List all shares
smbclient -L '\\\\server-name' -U username -W DOMAIN

# Logs into server to type commands
smbclient '//server-name/sharename$' -U username -W DOMAIN

# Logs in, runs 'ls' command and disconnects

smbclient '//server-name/sharename$' -U username -W DOMAIN -c ls

# Other parameters:

-d99 = debug output

-D directory = start from directory

# Commands

get = just like FTP
