[Bug 1384624] Re: mount.cifs fails with user=domain/name in 14.04.1

[Roberto Pensa]

the work around does not work on 14.04 LTS! 
There is no problem to mount from a samba share on 12.04 LTS but not vice versa!
This is typical for the so called stable releases. Hope it will be fixed very soon, but
don't believe that.

Title:
  mount.cifs fails with user=domain/name in 14.04.1

Status in cifs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  when mounting a Samba share, the user parameter is incorrectly parsed in 14.04.1 (this works in 12.04 and should work according to the man page):
  mount.cifs //host/share /mnt/share -o user=domain/login,password=*** fails with error:
  mount error(13): Permission denied

  whereas
  mount.cifs //host/share /mnt/share -o domain=domain,user=login,password=*** works as expected

  Had this error after upgrading from 12.04, and had to use tshark to
  figure out the problem: the Session Setup AndX request contained
  'domain/login' as Account, and nothing as the Primary Domain

  release info: lsb_release -rd
