Which command is used to mount a Windows share on a Linux system?

A Linux client is configured to authenticate to an Active Directory domain using Kerberos and Winbind. Users can log in, but when they access a Windows file share, they are prompted for a password instead of using their Kerberos ticket. The administrator has verified that 'klist' shows a valid ticket. Which configuration is most likely to resolve the issue?

Set 'kerberos method = secrets and keytab' in smb.conf.

Set 'winbind offline logon = yes' in smb.conf.

Set 'winbind use default domain = yes' in smb.conf.

Set 'client use spnego = yes' in smb.conf.

A Linux client is configured to use Kerberos for authentication to an Active Directory domain. Users can obtain tickets with 'kinit', but when they try to access a Windows share using smbclient, authentication fails. Which configuration is most likely missing?

The 'kerberos method = secrets and keytab' setting in smb.conf.

The 'client signing = required' setting in smb.conf.

The 'client use spnego = yes' setting in smb.conf.

The 'winbind use default domain = yes' setting in smb.conf.
