Comment(by jrdavis):
OK, I probably wasn't completely clear about what the problem is - I was
focused on the solutions :).
The problem is independent of whether the mount is mentioned in /etc/fstab
or not. It can be seen when attempting to mount a cifs filesystem from the
command line.
For example, suppose I'm logged in, and want to access a share on my
Windows 7 machine. I would enter:
mount -t cifs //geek/public_share /mnt/cifs -o user=jeff
This causes mount to look for its helper, mount.cifs, in the /sbin
directory. Since it's not there, mount makes a valiant attempt to connect
anyway. It even asks for my password, but I don't get the mount. I get an
error indicating that there's an NT_AUTHENTICATION_ERROR.
When mount.cifs (and its companion, umount.cifs) are moved from /usr/sbin
to /sbin, everything connects and works perfectly.
Hope this helps.
