Description Josh Van As 2003-09-09 08:14:36 UTC 
I have a Windows 2003 Server (named volcano) which I am attempting to mount a 
share from.  My client is an x86 Red Hat Linux 9.0 box running Samba 3.0RC3 
after a fresh reboot.

I issue the following command which is a command that worked fine before.

smbmount //volcano/c$ /mnt/volcano/c -o credentials=/root/smb.pass 
username=domainadminusername/domainname

(username and domain name omitted)

Instead of mounting the share, I receive the following error:

cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
2639: protocol negotiation failed
SMB connection failed

I can't seem to find this error listed anywhere.  If SMB Signing is 
unsupported or something weird like that, could someone please point me in the 
direction of how to turn it off?

TIA!
-Josh

smbfs does not support SMB signing.  Your only option is to use 
the newer cifsvfs file system.  See 

  http://samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html

for details.

or you can disable smb signing on the 2003 server.
