This works for me... In /etc/fstab:- //share/name /mount/point cifs _netdev,credentials=/etc/samba/cred.txt 0 0 In the credentials file:- username=your-windows-user password=XXXXXXXXXXX
Make sure the credentials file is owned by root and only readable by root.

Hi
I need to mount a windows share on a CentOS 4.5 box running stock kernel etc - I have tried using cifs and also smbfs
My fstab looks like
//share/name /mount/point smbfs username=user,password=password,uid=useridhere 0 0
or the same using cifs
When i try and mount that i get the following errors depending on the share type
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
i would have thought that cifs was the way forward but any ideas? These use creds are being used on an ancient 7.3 box and they work fine
thanks
