Description Debian samba package maintainers (PUBLIC MAILING LIST) 2009-10-25 16:03:29 UTC 
As reported by Ramses Rodriguez Martinez in Debian BTS:

mount.cifs manpage states the credential file format is:
  username=value
  password=value
  workgroup=value

however, it should be:
  username=value
  password=value
  DOMAIN=value

....From what I see in mount.cifs.c, our user is right..:-)
Comment 1 Karolin Seeger 2009-11-30 07:59:06 UTC 
You are perfectly right!
Fixed with commit 3b7f8a759 in master and pushed to v3-4-test and v3-3-test.
Closing out bug report.

Thanks for reporting!
