+To mount CIFS shares on Linux, you need to have the samba utilities installed. For RHEL based systems, ensure you have {{code|samba-utils}} installed.
-To mount a samba share, use <code>mount.cifs</code>. Credentials can be passed in as mount options.{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=

 # mount -t cifs -o username=leo,domain=uc,vers=2.1 //10.1.1.123/share /mnt/share
