By default, F27 now uses SMB 3.0x. If your server is SMB 1.0, try
specifying "vers=1.0" in the mount command, e.g.:
mount -t cifs -o username=$user,password=$password,vers=1.0
//winsrvr/share /mnt
Not sure if they autonegotiate well or not. M$ has always hidden that
stuff fairly well and Samba is a reverse-engineered solution.
