I am trying to mount a share with a Username with a @ in it. 
 
The man pages all say that you use the following form: 
//user@host/share 
 
My School only has documentation for Windows on setting up the Network Shares.  In all 
the windows docs they always use the form username@carroll.edu -- ie pquerna@carroll.edu 
 
My Attempts: 
mount_smbfs -I saints //PQuerna@carroll.edu@server/username$ /mnt/carroll/xdrive 
Gives: 
mount_smbfs: server name 'carroll.edu@server' too long 
 
I tried it without the @carroll.edu, in the hope it might work... 
mount_smbfs -I saints //PQuerna@server/username$ /mnt/carroll/xdrive 
Password: 
mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error 
 
It Prompts for my password, and then fails, because its the wrong user. 
 
I also tried adding quotes around the username, escaping(\) the @, but nothing seemed to 
work. 
 
I looked around google for abit, but it doesn't seem to even use symbols when i search for 
somthing, so i couldn't find jack about this via my normal euphoric rescue on google. 
 
Any ideas before i get the source code out and hardcode some stuff?
