Fedora Core 5: No samba mount with unencrypted password

Hello,

I have to access a (relatively old) samba server that only accepts
unencrypted passwords. So far no problem using 'mount -t smbfs' with
Fedora Core 4. But now I upgraded to Fedora Core 5 which lacks support
for smbfs resp. smbmount (although the release notes do not mention
this change with a single word).

'mount -t cifs' only supports encrypted passwords. There is an option
'sec' that defaults to 'ntlm' (NTLM password hashing) but cannot be
switched to no encrytion. I can browse the samba file system using
konqueror and 'smb://' but I need shell access, too.

Any workarounds?

Regards, Michael
