CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed

[Hussein]

dear all ,

am trying to mount permament or temporary shares located in windows 2003 server
i use kernel kernel-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4
i've downloaded the latest stable samba rpm release samba-3.0.20a-1
i can list the windows servers using
smbclient -L 10.10.10.1 -U hesmat

when using the command
mount -t cifs -v -o user=hesmat,pass=mypassword /servername/PUBLIC /home/hus/public
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //servername/PUBLIC,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
when typing command dmesg | tail
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
CIFS VFS: Unexpected SMB signature
CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13
CIFS VFS: Unexpected SMB signature

CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

when using smbfs instead of cifs i receive this
cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
4363: protocol negotiation failed
SMB connection failed

please advice , thanks in advance

I just ran it this way:

mount -t cifs -o user=[name],workgroup=[name] //server/f$ /mnt

and it worked just fine.

I got the windows share names from,
$smbclient -L //win_ip -U workgroup/win_user

I tried the same, but below command is little more descriptive.
$mount -t smbfs -o username=windows_username,password=windows_passwor d
//vista_pc_name/share_name mount_folder_name

This might be related; Windows Server 2003 (Domain Controllers) SMB messages by default.

(On Fedora 12 x86_64; samba-client-3.4.7-58)
Mounting a share (or using smbclient) which was on an XP machine using credentials that were local to that machine worked.
Attempting to mount a share (on a Windows Server 2003) using Domain credentials was failing.
mount.cifs returned:

mount error(13): Permission denied

smbclient returned:

session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

/var/log/messages had:

CIFS VFS: Unexpected SMB signature
Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

Setting the Security mode option worked:

mount.cifs //share_server_ip/shared_folder /mount_point -o username="domain_user_name",password="domain_user_password",domain="DomainName",sec=ntlmv2i
