Hi Chris,
Have you tried the command without including the password?

mount -t smbfs -o username=myusername //server1/linux /home/cjohnson/server1/linux

the mount (smbmount) command will prompt you for a password if you don't 
include one.
I'm not sure this will make any difference but it's worth a try!

Other things to try are the 'guest' option and the 'rw' option.
More details for these commands are in the smbmount man page.

Cheers,

Andy
