Specify the domain in SMB login strings (and flush cache)

macosxhintsDecember 10, 2003. &nbsp You can specify Workgroup (along with user ID) in the SMB connect-to string. For example:

smb://WORKGROUP;machine.somewhere.com/Share

smb://WORKGROUP;User@machine.somewhere.com/Share

smb://WORKGROUP;User:Password@machine.somewhere.com/Share/

Unrelated hint to clear DNS cache: lookupd -flushcache (might need sudo)
