i tried smbmount-2.1.x "//buskiller/wal\'s world" jason -c 'mount bus' but then it says "wrong sharename", i tried all combinations and i either get one message or the other... looks like the program should output an adjusted service name to the script that it seems to run: main program will get a clean string from the command line without all the escapes (as the shell does), but should then pass on an escaped version to the mount shell script. i'll have a quick look... is the maintainer listening to this or should i CC the problem on to him?
