I'm currently trying to get a linux system (debian 'sarge') to connect to a windows 2003 server share as a mount point.

I know the system can connect to the share, cause i can use this command to remote connect (but not mount)

smbclient //bossman/storage --user=XXXXX

now, i've tried several things..

debian:/# mount -t smbfs -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx //bossman/storage /mnt/storage
cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
25471: protocol negotiation failed
SMB connection failed

Now, i've also tried this command that i've seen recommended for 2k3 shares

debian:/# mount -t cifs -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx //bossman/storage /mnt/server
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)


Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated
