I'm trying to mount the Windows Share on one of Our Redhat 5.9 Server. I use this command
mount -t cifs //hostIP/Folder /share2 -o username=alpha,password=blahblahblah
And
mount.cifs //hostIP/sales /share2 -o username=alpha,password=blahblahblah,domain=ourdomain.corp
But whatever I do it always gives me permission denied error
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Also try the option sec=ntlm. Depending on the version of mount.cifs that option might be necessary to mount Windows shares.
mount -t cifs //hostIP/Folder /share2 -o sec=ntlm,username=alpha,password=blahblahblah
Are user and permissions set correctly on the Windows share? Is it possible to access this share from another Windows box with the credentials you provide in your options? Try
mount.cifs //hostIP/sales /share2 -o username=alpha,password=blahblahblah,domain=ourdomain.corp --verbose<br/>
to get more information.
I was also having this problem, part of the fix was to fully upgrade SAMBA
samba-client-3.0.33-3.41.el5_11
samba-common-3.0.33-3.41.el5_11
These versions are newer than the version that shipped with RHEL5.9 and include rolled back patches for bugs from 2013
The part that still isn't working is mounting the share from a Domain attached 2008r2 server. If the server is not domain attached the mount works fine. I suspect that there is a GPO on the server for not accepting connections from hosts that can do a certain level of security signing. RHEL 5x doesn't seem to support NTLMv2 for instance.
This is a problem with the kernel mounting.

They basically say that until kernel-3.10.0-514.6.1.el7 comes out that you will need root fileshare permissions on Windows to be able to mount to the children folders.
On RHEL 5.9, the CIFS client module is definitely using SMB protocol version 1.0 by default. A well-maintained Windows server will most likely be configured to reject the versio 1.0 because of security weaknesses by now.
Add mount option vers=2.0 to the mount command to use SMB protocol version 2.0, which was introduced with Windows Server 2008.
