[OpenIndiana-discuss] Accessing smb shares from windows

[Robbie Crash]

You may also need to authenticate with username@<OIHOST> or
<OIHOST>\username rather than just with username since Windows will try to
use guest if not prompted, or windowsuser at windowshost or domain\windowsuser

For example, when I access my admin shares on my OI box, they're tied to a
robbieadmin account, which is local only to my OI box. When I sign in with
that account I do robbieadmin at file00 rather than robbie at crash.local, with
file00 being the hostname of my OI box, and crash.local being my AD domain.
