Linux SMBCLIENT problems with Vista SMB2 - Same in Longhorn?

Vista users who are also Linux users are having fits trying to file share between the two platforms. The favorite command for mounting an SMB file system in Linux, smbclient, appears no longer to work with Vista's updated SMB2 protocol.

Since this protocol also appears in Longhorn (see the other post from today), will one of the Linux distributions figure out a patch in time to re-enable this much-needed functionality?

Linux Magazine has an interesting article on the problem, but nothing on the solution: http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/75/Microsoft_Vista_With_Linux_Interoperability.pdf
