you can use "mount -t cifs" for that and (hopefully installed) use fitting auth and options for the smb/cifs-connection, also just write it to fstab to get it connected all the time:
I just wanted you to know that I was having problems trying to mount a share from one Ubuntu PC to another (both were Active Directory domain members), while I was able to mount the same share using my Windows 7 PC (also an AD domain member)...
I was trying to use the fstab file as I had before, but I kept getting "Error 13: Permission denied" whenever I tried "sudo mount -a" to mount the fstab shares.
Your post gave me the answer! For a Windows share, you don't need the "domain=" portion, but for a Linux-based share, I guess you do, because when I added the line:
domain=[MyDomainName]
to my credentials file, the share mounted without issue! Previously, my credentials file had only contained the standard "username" and "password" lines:
username=[my-username]
password=[my-password]
So, your posting saved me from pulling my hair out...thanks!
