Trying to keep this alive - I'm up against a wall here!
I can use smbclient and not only see files, but actually download them (with
get) but I can't mount said Windows share locally to a drive - I universally
get a "permission denied" error.
1) I've tried mounting via a line in fstab.
2) I've tried smbmount with every option I could find.
3) I've tried using mount with every option I could find.
How could it work in smbclient with the same credentials, but not as an smb
mount? Is there something about how the Linux localhost is being announced,
perhaps?
