I have all but eliminated the cifs/SecurityFlags setting as being related to the cause of not being able to mount the share. From linux-3.12.6/fs/cifs/cifsglob.h you have: CIFSSEC_DEF (CIFSSEC_MAY_SIGN | CIFSSEC_MAY_NTLMV2 | CIFSSEC_MAY_NTLMSSP) checking: CIFSSEC_MAY_SIGN 0x00001 CIFSSEC_MAY_NTLMV2 0x00004 CIFSSEC_MAY_NTLMSSP 0x00080 /* raw ntlmssp with ntlmv2 */ ------- 0x00085 explains why /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags is 0x85. Testing whether adding ntml in as a security feature helps: CIFSSEC_MAY_SIGN 0x00001 CIFSSEC_MAY_NTLM 0x00002 CIFSSEC_MAY_NTLMV2 0x00004 CIFSSEC_MAY_NTLMSSP 0x00080 /* raw ntlmssp with ntlmv2 */ ------- 0x00087 [03:30 phoinix:/home/david/pkg/src/linux] # echo 0x87 >/proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags Then attempting to mount the share from my Arch client (hostname providence) fails again: [03:30 providence:/usr/src/linux-3.5.3-1-ARCH] # mount.cifs //phoinix/config /mnt/phx-cfg -v -o username=david,domain=RLFPLLC,uid=1000,credentials=/home/david/.dcr/mountcfile,noperm mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.7.16,unc=\\phoinix\config,noperm,uid=1000,user=david,,domain=RLFPLLC,pass=******** mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) So we are back to step 1. Any ideas welcomed here. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
