[OpenIndiana-discuss] Ubuntu 13.04 cifs error

[Lucas Van Tol]

One of my users had to change mount options after updating his Linux system recently.
I think he mainly added '-o sec=ntlm'.
This is for an AD connected system running the built-in cifs service, it may behave differently on other systems?
