I'm assuming you mean you get the "mount error 5' when you use


mount -t cifs //server/share/ path/to/local/ -o user=u,pass=p,lfs

Do you have an executable named mount.cifs in /sbin or /usr/sbin on the
client?

If not, you'll need to install CIFS VFS on the client.  You may need to
install kernel patches to make this happen.
