Fedora 18 and mount cifs not mounting windows share

If you are having problem mounting a window share in Fedora 18, saying "Permission Denied" just like the one below:


[root@localhost ~]# mount.cifs //192.168.0.50/customer /ian -o user=administrator
Password for administrator@//192.168.0.50/customer:  ***
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)


Try this solution: (add sec=ntlm on the option)

mount.cifs //192.168.0.50/customer /ian -o user=administrator,sec=ntlm
