Description of problem: I was on 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5. After doing an update {yum} to 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 I can no longer mount -t cifs to a Windows share. The domain name that is sent to the Windows machine is CIFS_LINUX_DOM even though in the smb.conf it is different {and correct}. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum -y update 2. kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 is removed 3. kernel 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 is installed. Actual results: When mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/name -o credentials=/etc/samba.auth.smb returns: mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) Checking the event logs on the Windows server - the domain comes across as: CIFS_LINUX_DOM instead of what is in smb.conf {which was working prior to the update}. I googled that domain name and a link: http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/18-rc4/fs/cifs/sess.c has several mentions of that domain name. This happened around the 18th of Oct 2006 after an update and reboot. I tried a before and after test on an FC5 box on vmware with no other changes and the results were the same {Permission deined because of domain name}. Expected results: The mount should have been successful. Additional info:
