I cannot seem to get Ubuntu to mount a mac share via SMB or AFP. I've tried the following...

AFP:

apt-get install afpfs-ng-utils
mount_afp afp://user:password@localip/share /mnt/share

Error given: "Could not connect, never got a reponse to getstatus, Connection timed out". Which is odd as I can access the share just fine via Mac.

SMB:

apt-get install cifs-utils
nano /etc/fstab
added the following line "//localip/share /mnt/share cifs username=user,password=pass,iocharset=utf8,sec=nltm 0 0"
mount -a

Error given:

mount: external mount: argv[2] = "/mnt/NAS"
mount: external mount: argv[3] = "-v"
mount: external mount: argv[4] = "-o"
mount: external mount: argv[5] = "rw,username=user,password=pass,iocharset=utf8,sec=nltm"
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=10.0.1.3,unc=\\10.0.1.3\NAS,iocharset=utf8,sec=nltm,user=user,pass=*
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I don't really care which it uses I just want it to work! Am I doing something wrong?

for me it worked without sec=nltmssp:

//localip/share /mnt/share cifs username=user,password=xxx,nounix 0 0
-1

I was able to get this to work with an fstab of

//localip/share /mnt/share cifs username=user,nounix,sec=nltmssp 0 0
