HAVE run into distros where the lack of winbind screws SAMBA.
This is not a global issue however. Try it without winbind
first.
Cifs-utils also adds the handy "-t cifs" option to 'mount'.
Note that I often wanted Winders boxes to mount shares on
the Linux boxes and vice-versa. Office environments are
usually "mixed" and, no, the boss is NOT gonna move the
whole place over to Linux - more likely to all-Winders
instead since bosses rarely understand IT stuff. I've
encountered people who had to HIDE Linux boxes behind
names like "winserver-B" until certain bosses moved
on ... really !
