Ubuntu Server 14.04

When I execute this command the share is mounted! sudo mount -t cifs //localhost/share /media/sharemount -o port=5454,username="",password=""

However when I try to mount permanently, I get this error: " Can not access a needed shared library"

//localhost/share /media/sharemount cifs username="",password="",port=5454,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

What am I missing????? Thanks!

I did try installing windbind but it did not work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534

Ok solved it my self. The issue causing the error is iocharset=utf8. I simply deleted that part and mount was successful. HOWEVER if like me you installed a min image of Ubuntu the program to understand utf8 was not installed. So this solution will resolve the issue as well: Unicode Characters in Ubuntu Server

You may want to check if you have mount.cifs installed. If you don't, then : 

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
