Linux + CIFS + Corporate Domain

I've been trying to get Samba (cifs) to mount our Windows 2003 Active Directory file server for about a year. I've never had any luck until a coworker found that it required NTLMV2.

mount.cifs //10.1.0.5/HomeFolders/baker_s /mnt/network_drive -o credentials=/etc/credentials,sec=ntlmv2 -v

Put very simple credentials in /etc/credentials and then chmod 600 the file.

#/etc/credentials domain=mydomain username=baker_s password=sekrit_password

Or the coresponding fstab entry:

//10.1.0.5/HomeFolders/baker_s /mnt/network_drive cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,sec=ntlmv2 0 0
