I can't mount cifs share, but smbfs works fine with same credentials.
Code:
mount -t cifs //duckula/backup /mnt/duckula/backup/
Password:
mount error 5 = Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

The username and password I'm using are correct since I can mount via smbfs this way.

I haven't had much luck on the web, saw some things about matching hostname/ip resolution but my resolution is fine and matching.

Any ideas?

Hi.

Since the CIFS module is supposed to use/support the new Win2KXX security model, which SMB still doesn't, what OS is running in the host you're trying to use? Have you tried using -o user=<user-name>?

What OS is running the host you're trying to connect to? What version of Samba do you have?

the version of samba is the latest stable - 3.0.22, the other os is running linux with samba-2.2.8a-234, but it also doesn't seem to work against my windows 2000 workstation...
