I have a Windows Server 2003 system I'm trying to back up to a Linux host.
when I access the share with smbclient, I can "see" the files (`ls` returns a
list of files, etc)
smbclient -U shareuser //server/sharename password
But, when I try to actually mount the drive, I get "permission denied" errors
trying to access the drive. (EG: using `df`) Running the following command
takes about 10 seconds:
smbmount //server/sharename /mnt/servername -o \
credentials=/path/to/credentials,ro
I've also tried an alternate format:
mount -t smbfs -o username=USERNAME //server/sharename /mnt/servername
Same results both ways. I found a CentOS forum where somebody had problems
with the RPM package, but retrograding to the package(s) he recommends didn't
change anything.

I'm running the latest samba-client & samba-common on CentOS 4.2. SELinux is
in warn mode. Here's the /var/log/messages when I mount:
Feb 2 19:42:16 sol kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev smbfs, type smbfs), uses
genfs_contexts

Feb 2 19:42:46 sol mount.smbfs[21755]: mount.smbfs: entering daemon mode

Running with debug=8 didn't provide much that was helpful. Any ideas where to
go from here?
