All,
I've run samba in standalone mode since the 2.0.7 days and have been though a few breakages due to version updates along the way. It seems we have hit one again in the 4.4 to 4.5 update. Specifically, the update was:
samba-4.4.5 => samba-4.5.0
There were no changes made to smb.conf, but the following attempted mount failed using:
mount.cifs //phoinix/samba /mnt/phx -o username=david,uid=1000,credentials=/home/adm/mountcfile,noperm
I've been mounting the box like this for the past several years.
There are no entries in the logs telling me why the mount fails, it just fails. Has anyone else experienced problems with the samba-4.4.5 => samba-4.5.0 update, and if so, any solutions? I've currently downgraded to samba-4.4.5 and all works as it should. I've checked the old forum thread - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=190592 that isn't related to the current issue. I've check the arch and samba wikis, no help. I've also posted to the samba list, still awaiting a reply. So if anyone has any additional information, I would greately appreciate any you can provide.

Samba 4.5.0 disables old NTLMv1 authentication. If you are running mount.cifs on arch that should be no problem. Maybe you could add -o sec=ntlmssp and see if that fixes your problem before enabling the old authentication methods again. See: https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.5.0.html -- Ike
