[root@san-client ~]# mount -t cifs //192.168.1.113/noc /mnt -o user=sai1
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.113/noc,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
[root@san-client ~]#
Solution:-
[root@san-client ~]# rpm -qa |grep cifs
[root@san-client ~]#
[root@san-client ~]# yum install cifs-utils
