mount -t cifs results in 'cannot mount readonly' error

Question

I am trying to mount directory located on local network. I am using :

mount -t cifs -o username=user //192.168.0.106/shared /home/user/point

And I get following error :

mount: /home/user/point: cannot mount //192.168.0.106/shared read-only.

It is shared via Samba. Thanks for any answers.

For Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, use as mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,domain=WORKGROUP,username=user //192.168.0.106/shared /home/user/point. — Amil Waduwawara, Commented Mar 19, 2023 at 11:34

Solved. I just had to install cifs-utils package.

This is also the correct solution for debian linux.
