Dell DUP Linux mount.cifs Version

I am trying to get my Deployment Solution to work with ntlm v2. On a generic Linux boot disk a "mount.cifs -V" gives version 1.9. On the Dell DUP Linux disk "mount.cifs -V" gives 1.5. This is important because in 1.9 I can use the sec=ntlmv2 option to connect to my Deployment Solution. Does anyone have any answers as to how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Mark

Upgrade mount.cifs

There are a few options here:

1) Try using Dell Linux instead of Dell DUP linux to apply the DUP.  Many of the DUPs won't work, but some probably will.
2) If you have a lot of Linux knowledge you could upgrade samba within the preboot.  Not for newbies.
3) Don't use ntlmv2.  I know this sounds obvious, but it may be an option.  Windows Server 2008 R2 ( and vista) require ntlmv2 by default (I think), but this can be disabled by launching secpol.msc, go to "Security Options" then find "Network Security ->LAN Manager authentication level." then change to "LM and NTLM.

Good luck,
