I installed cifs from the https://slackware.pkgs.org/current/s..._64-1.txz.html and then rebooted and got a glibc error.

Is there a simple easy way from a new fresh install to just get it to where I can run this command and it works [from fstab].

Why not install cifs-utils for Slackware 15.0?

I do, I did. I have 2 identical systems, both configured same way.. on 1 system it mounts it right, on other system "cifs filesystem not supported". Like, I copy/paste the /etc/fstab and everything is the same.

Are you running 15 or current?

Yeah, that should work right out of the box.

That is to say: You don't need to add anything to a standard Slackware64-15.0 installation for that to work.

Was your kernel upgrade unsuccessful? No cifs.ko module for the running kernel? This is your previous thread: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...1/#post6450693

cifs-utils is included in a default install of Slackware 15.0. if you did a fresh install and your server is configured correctly then it should work. The package you installed is for -current which is why you got a glibc error. I don't know who pkgs.org is, but the official installer has cifs-utils in slackware64/n/. Make sure you install everything from the n/ series unless you know exactly which packages it requires.

Out of curiosity, did you do a full install (9+GB) of Slackware?

EDIT, forgot to post the link to the file mirror:

Alright weird. So I am gonna do an install again, fresh 15 and not install anything extra. Gonna just pop that command line in and it should work, if not I can post exactly what error it has or what I may have done wrong.
The older kernel module issue we resolved on what it now the existing/working install. That’s what threw me off, why it wasn’t working.
I had installed by accident downloading current iso and then had the glibc error. I was like lemme just do a legit install and did so, then got the invalid format error on the code for fstab I posted above.
Sorry I’m terrible at explaining things but thanks to all, I’ll do this again on the vm no biggie! I’ll let ya know either way.
