Mount samba share (CentOS)

Hi,

I have two (CentOS 5.4) Servers, I have managed to setup samba on first server and is working fine as I have tested from windows machine (windows machine can access the share \\linux1)

Now on the 2nd Centos Machine, I'm trying to mount it, but it just doesn't work. I tried the following commands:

mount -t cifs //linuxserver1/backups -o username=XXXXXX,password=****** /backups
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.11/backups -o username=XXXXXX,password=****** /backups
mount -t cifs linuxserver1:/backups -o username=XXXXXX,password=****** /backups
mount -t cifs linuxserver1:/backups /backups

I get the following error message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.0.11/backups/,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

When I check the dmesg I see the following logs
#dmesg | tail
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

Any help/advice will be must appreciated

Thanks

Try re-installing nfs-common

Also check these files and this walkthrough:

These files:

/etc/exports
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny
/etc/sysconfig/nfs
