Hi, folks. I'm not subscribed, so please ping me if further info is needed. Jeff Layton said to report this here, as it's a useful data point, though apparently you already know the underlying cause. I have what I think is a pretty common setup here at AdamW Towers: an off-the-shelf consumer NAS box as a dump for 'big but not really valuable data' (mostly media files) which provides a very liberally-configured CIFS share: I just allow full unauthenticated access to any system on the local network, because if you're on my network, you can do whatever you like to the stuff on the NAS box, you're either married to me or I trust you *and* I'm sitting where I can see you. The box I use is a D-Link DNS-323, which is a pretty popular one - Google will confirm this. I have this line in /etc/fstab : //192.168.1.13/Volume_1 /share/data cifs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid,soft,guest,iocharset=utf8,mapchars 0 0 If I boot a 3.7 kernel, I can mount the share, no problems. If I boot a 3.8 kernel and try to mount it, I get 'Permission denied'. Nautilus can browse the share through its own CIFS stuff (by going through Network, not browsing to /share/data). If I add 'sec=ntlm' to the options, I can mount the share. jlayton tells me this is a security change in 3.8: NTLM is considered insecure and so you have to explicitly specify it. I can see the argument, but it seems a shame to break a working config that - like I say - I suspect is reasonably common, especially since there's no security expectation anyway (and this too I suspect is not an unusual situation). Obviously the 'fix' is simple, but it's the kind of thing that'll catch people out and frustrate them I think, and they may not have a jlayton on tap to give them the answer right away :) I have no idea of the technicalities, but perhaps NTLM could be allowed for 'guest' mounts at least? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
