Yes - please let us know if this worked.

I would like to report a regression in the CIFS fs. Sometime between Linux 4.14
and 5.16, mounting CIFS with option vers=1.0 (and
CONFIG_CIFS_ALLOW_INSECURE_LEGACY=y set appropriately) with security type
NTLMSSP stopped working for me. The server side is a Windows 2003 Server.

I found that this behavior depends on the length of the Linux client's
host+domain name (e.g. utsname()->nodename), where the mount works as long as
the name is 16 characters or less. Anything 17 or above returns -EIO, per the
following example:

/etc/fstab entry:

//10.0.0.12/xxxxxxxxx /ext0 cifs vers=1.0,user=xxxxx,pass=xxxxxxxxxxx,dom=xxxxxxxxxxx,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0644,noauto 0 0

# hostname 12345678901234567;mount /ext0
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)
# hostname 1234567890123456;mount /ext0
#
Could you please try below patch?

Let me know if I missed something else. Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] cifs: fix ntlmssp on old servers

Some older servers seem to require the workstation name during ntlmssp
to be at most 15 chars (RFC1001 name length), so truncate it before
sending when using insecure dialects.
