It looks reasonably accurate. Mounting a share without a password isn't the greatest idea though. You may want to tailor it a bit more to your own needs; rather than giving access to everyone (dangerous for obvious reasons), open the share as your user and give it a password. -o user=linuxuser,username=winuser,password=pass
See man mount.cifs for more options you can put in -o to control permissions and the like.
Depending on your distro, cifs-utils may be the wrong package, or unnecessary - CIFS share mounting is a device driver, part of the Linux kernel, and might just be there already. If you don't have mount.cifs, try mount -t cifs.
Hosting a CIFS share on Linux is a totally different story, that requires the Samba package.

SETCIFSACL(1) CIFS Access Control List Tools SETCIFSACL(1)
NAME
setcifsacl - Userspace helper to alter an ACL in a security descriptor for Common Internet File System (CIFS)
SYNOPSIS
setcifsacl [-v|-a|-D|-M|-S] "{one or more ACEs}" {file system object}
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the cifs-utils suite.
setcifsacl is a userspace helper program for the Linux CIFS client file system. It is intended to alter an ACL of a security descriptor
for a file system object. It is best utilized when an option of cifsacl is specified when mounting a cifs share in conjunction with
winbind facility of Samba suite. Whether a security descriptor to be set is applied or not is determined by the CIFS/SMB server.
OPTIONS
-v
Print version number and exit.
-a
Add one or more ACEs to an ACL of a security descriptor. An ACE is added even if the same ACE exists in the ACL.
-D
Delete one or more ACEs from an ACL of a security descriptor. Entire ACE has to match in an existing ACL for the listed ACEs to be
deleted.
-M
Modify one or more ACEs from an ACL of a security descriptor. SID and type are used to match for existing ACEs to be modified with the
list of ACEs specified.
-S
Set an ACL of security descriptor with the list of ACEs Existing ACL is replaced entirely with the specified ACEs.
Every ACE entry starts with "ACL:" One or more ACEs are specified within double quotes. Multiple ACEs are separated by a comma.
Following fields of an ACE can be modified with possible values:
SID: Either a name or a raw SID value.
type: ALLOWED (0x0), DENIED (0x1), OBJECT_ALLOWED (0x5), OBJECT_DENIED (0x6)
flags: OBJECT_INHERIT_FLAG (OI or 0x1), CONTAINER_INHERIT_FLAG (CI or 0x2), NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT_FLAG (NI or 0x4), INHERIT_ONLY_FLAG (IO or
0x8), INHERITED_ACE_FLAG (IA or 0x10) or a combination/OR of these values.
mask: Either one of FULL, CHANGE, READ, a combination of R W X D P O, or a hex value
EXAMPLES
Add an ACE
setcifsacl -a "ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser2:DENIED/0x1/D" <file_name> setcifsacl -a "ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser1:ALLOWED/OI|CI|NI/D" <file_name>
Delete an ACE
setcifsacl -D "ACL:S-1-1-0:0x1/OI/0x1201ff" <file_name>
Modify an ACE
setcifsacl -M "ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser1:ALLOWED/0x1f/CHANGE" <file_name>
Set an ACL
setcifsacl -S "ACL:CIFSTESTDOMAdministrator:0x0/0x0/FULL,
ACL:CIFSTESTDOMuser2:0x0/0x0/FULL," <file_name>
NOTES
Kernel support for getcifsacl/setcifsacl utilities was initially introduced in the 2.6.37 kernel.
