Bug Description

Hello,
I tried mounting a Windows XP Home share from the terminal. the command i entered was

sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=Owner,workgroup=MSHOME,dmask=777,fmask=777 //Cpu/test /home/user/Desktop/test -w

The error was

params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file: +########## Domains ###########

Thanks,
Eyez

That string doesn't show up anywhere in the config file that we ship. How did you generate/create your smb.conf?

Looks like it was a bad merge of a diff (leaving a "+" in the final file) that's biting you, at any rate, and I'm pretty sure it didn't come from our packages.

Oh, hah. I spot it now. I was grepping my installed (and old) smb.conf, not the one in the source package. Yay me.

Will fix in the next upload.
