Linux – Mount CIFS share gives “mount error 127 = Key has expired”

linuxsamba

I'm currently replicating the setup of a CentOS box an am running into a strange error while trying to mount a samba share that resides on a NAS. The error I'm getting is:

mount error 127 = Key has expired

Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

The settings are identical to the old machine, the password is definitely correct as well. I have googled the issue of course, and looked at every single page that references this issue (not that many) and have still not found an answer.

The older CentOS box is using version 3.0.28-0.el4.9 of Samba and the one I'm trying to setup now is 3.0.33-3.7.el5_3.1. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but it's certainly one of the only differences between the 2 setups.

When I try the mount command this appears in the syslog:

Sep  8 10:51:54 helvetica2 kernel: Status code returned 0xc0000072 NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_DISABLED

Sep  8 10:51:54 helvetica2 kernel:  CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -127

Sep  8 10:51:54 helvetica2 kernel:  CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -127

The account is very much not disabled as it works on the old box using the same credentials.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

I had the similar problem. The reason for it is that your password may have expired or need to change it You can solve it as follows:

  1. Login into the Windows Machine or Remote Desktop it
  2. After entering your current correct credentials, you'll be prompted to change the password
  3. Provide a new password
  4. After the password is successfully changed, try mounting again (and it should work)
