[linux-cifs-client] Mounting CIFS gives me permission denied

A few possbile causes come to mind 
1) Obviously a bad user or password (from a windows box you can override 
the user and password explicitly on NET USE or use smbclient as an 
alternative to try a different client)
2) specifying a user who is configured to not allow authentication across 
the network
3) specifying a domain (or using the default domain) which does not match 
the servers domain
4) restricted host (windows allows you to configure workstations that are 
not allowed to mount to a share)
5) windows is configured for mandatory use of ntlmv2 or kerberos security 
(cifs support for ntlmv2 is not enabled in /proc/fs/cifs by default and 
cifs kerberos support is not complete)
