I am trying to setup a Alfresco Community Edition 3.2r2 installation on CentOS 5.4. The installation is working properly except that I am unabled to mount the CIFS AVM share.The current properties in the alfresco-global.properties file are:cifs.enabled=truecifs.ipv6.enabled=falsecifs.tcpipSMB.port=

The mount.cifs implementation for CentOS 5.4 appears to ignore the "port=" option from being recognized. Sniffer showed that despite setting port=1445, SYN's going to 445, 139 but not 1445.

Work around is to use port redirect in IPTables, something along these lines:


echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
modprobe iptable_nat
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp –dport 445 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 1445
‍‍‍‍‍‍

(or, similar rule in PREROUTING chain)

Now this works for me:
mount -t cifs -o user=admin,password=admin,rw //127.0.0.1/AVM /mnt/avm

Hope that helps.
