samba - Jul 2003 - Unable to mount Windows 2003 Server shares from Linux RH 7.3

Greetings,
 
 
I am trying, FROM a Linux Red Hat 7.3, to mount a share sitting on a
Windows 2003 Server and I am getting the following problems.
 
 
I had done this with a NT4 server and it was working fine.
 
I am trying to mount the following: 
 
mount.smbfs //NT2003SERVER/share /mnt -o username=user,password=pass
 
 
At first, I was getting the following error:
 
cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
21739: protocol negotiation failed
SMB connection failed

 
I then added the following line to smb.conf
 
client signing = Yes
 
I reloaded and tried again I this time the share mounted but everytime I
would do an ls in it it would give me the following error: 
 
 
First I would get this at the console: 
 
SMB signature check failed!
SMB Signature verification failed on incoming packet!

 
Then while trying to do an ls command in the mounted dir:
 
ls: .: Stale NFS file handle

 
Can anyone help me with that? Or tell what I must do to successfully
access Windows 2003 shares.
 
 
Thank you

SMB signing and smbmount (actually, the smbfs kernel-side) are
incompatible.  I will try to alter the source code to ensure it is made
clearer (and that you can't attempt to re-enable it).  

We have recently made some very good progress, such that smbclient
should always able to negotiate signing.

If you want an SMB signed connection, you need to use the CIFS VFS
module, already in the Linux Kernel 2.5, and available as a patch to 2.4
