Dear All,
I’m trying to mount windows share onto SLES11SP3
```auto
mount -t cifs //20.0.218.1/Attachment /mnt/sbomailer -o username=my_user,password=my_pass
```
and I get:
`mount error(1): Operation not permitted
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
`
I have followed this SUSE support note:
[https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7015602](https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7015602) and modified my syntax to:
```auto
mount -t cifs //20.0.218.1/Attachment /mnt/sbomailer -o [B]sec=ntlmssp[/B],username=my_user,password=my_pass
```
and still I get issue:
```auto
mount error(95): Operation not supported
```
need you support…

Hi
Add the --verbose option and try a different sec option of ntlm
(since your on SP3)

[QUOTE=malcolmlewis;31077]Hi

I have tried with different sec options.
```auto
smbclient -U my_user //20.0.218.1/Attachment/
```
can access and browse files there
Another thing that I found in logs when I try to mount is:
```auto
server requires packet signing to be enabled in /proc/fs/cifs/securityflags
```

Hi
Looks like it might be kernel age…
[https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2011-October/164397.html](https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2011-October/164397.html)
Is the windows share a desktop or a server?
