Title:
Package
There are varying instructions out there, but it may be the case that
/usr/bin/smbmount had its permissions set specifically so that non-root
users could execute it and mount shares, as explained in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaClientGuide . In that same
guide there are ways to allo
did tried it by installing cifs-utils package. First of all, it seems
that there was a change in cifs client and now the following command
line is required to mount
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.2.100/archive /mnt/archive -o
guest,sec=ntlmv2
This mounts just fine, but of course cannotbe in /etc/rc
Possibly not a bug. I think the correct command should be: mount.cifs
//192.168.2.100/archive /mnt/archive -o guest
I'm using that kind of command in my rc.local with Ubuntu 12.04

What was suggested is helpful but not really a workaround, for all
scenarios since it requires sudo. smbmount allowed regular user to mount
SMB share. Before I had in my rc.local following
smbmount //192.168.2.100/archive /mnt/archive -o guest
which worked. It cannot be just replaced with
mount
