Bug Description

If user A has a cifs share mounted from server Z and then user B logs in and trys to mount a cifs share from server Z, but types the password wrong, then user A's share from server Z gives input/output errors.

user A mounted their share using smbmount //Z/sharename /home/A/sharename

user B mounted their share using smbmount //Z/sharename /home/B/sharename

This is in Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1 with latest updates.
I have confirmed that the same problem exists in 8.10.

The problem seems to be reproducible just using the 8.04 and 8.10 install cd in live mode with the smbfs package installed after boot.

This problem does not exist if user B try and fails to mount a share from server Y.
