mount failure
i am tryin to mount my shared folder on the server, I used a command suggested to me, but it also fails, any suggestions would be thankful

saman@saman-G41MT-ES2L:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //safe/tabatabaian_s -o username="myuser",password="mypass" /mnt/share
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //safe/tabatabaian_s,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

this is the location I can reach via graphics browser:smb://safe/tabatabaian_s/

Make sure you have installed cifs-utils package (assuming you are using RedHat or its variants). Check if you have /sbin/mount.cifs executable file. Also, post the dmesg output.
