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",

...ing the trust secret via RPC calls failed error code was STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW (0x80000005) Could not check secret Also, if I tried connecting to the share from Windows it would silently fail. When tried mounting from Linux, would get this: # mount -tcifs //sambahost/share /mnt/samba_share -ocredentials=/etc/samba/sambauser.cred mount error 5 = Input/output error Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) As it turned out my problem was that the Linux host name was too long - over 14 chars. Once I shrunk it to 14 and rejoined the domain - everything started working. --alex
