samba - Jul 2006 - Q: mount -t smbfs: "cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it."

Hi,

I was trying smbmount (SuSE's samba-client-3.0.20b-3.4). The mount command 
replied:
cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
9451: protocol negotiation failed
SMB connection failed

No I'd suggest to change the message at least: It's unclear who
"we" is: The Samba
Team, the client, or the server

The server is a "Windows 2003 server", possibly running some default 
configuration.

Regards,
Ulrich

smbfs does not support SMB signing.  Try the more modern cifsfs.

Thanks for the hint, it actually helped. However I'm having the problem that
	mount -t cifs -ouser=uname //rkapoka1/HostData ~/stest
works when entering the password interactively, while
	mount -t cifs -ocredentials=scred //rkapoka1/HostData ~/stest
does not work when the correct password had been specified in the credential
file
as documented.

OK, found that as well: there are no blanks allowed around '=' (in
contradiction
to "cmb.conf standards". Maybe add an extra line of warning to the
manual page of
mount.cifs.

Problem solved now, thanks for the excellent reply, and sorry about my dumbness.
