hi i know this is a very hoary old chestnut and crops up all the time but i am utterly stumped and cant find a solution. i've got small mobile device whic is a linio plextalk its running win ce to do its stuff it exports a samba/cifs share and i canmount it but i cant access anything on it. read or write. i went through the manwell and tried every combination of security user file modes groups and passwords i can find but its not haivng any of it. so its not the mount options. have trid it on a 2.6.33.5 and 3.0 and 3.4 kernel mount on vanilla linux/debian wheezy and bananian,same problem m so its not the cifs version. i treid dumping the tcp msgs and its sending the smb blocks ok but i cant get past the permissions problem. i can access it ok form win xp, service pack 2. ok its somethign to do with the way win ce does the permissions and how these are translated for linux any suggestions as to how to go about debugging this woudl be much appreciated. ta muchly neil foster -- 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
