Hello. My company has a server running an old Samba 2.2.1. I mounted the drive in fstab with this command: //testserver/rd /mnt/drv_k cifs uid=531,gid=499,guest,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 The server is on a closed network, no restructions on permissions are present. Anyone should be able to read/write/whatever. The drive mounts without error. I can browse the drive but I can not write to it or open anything from it. For instance: [ecaron@localhost mnt]$ cd drv_k [ecaron@localhost drv_k]$ ls -al total 8 drwxrwxr-x 10 ecaron rd 0 Apr 30 13:15 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jul 5 09:46 .. drwxrwxr-x 1 ecaron rd 0 Feb 27 1999 BADFPC drwxrwxr-x 1 ecaron rd 0 Apr 19 2000 FPC drwxrwxr-x 20 ecaron rd 0 Jun 29 2004 FTPU drwxrwxr-x 1 ecaron rd 0 Jan 17 2000 lost+found drwxrwxr-x 1 ecaron rd 0 Nov 22 1999 TCOM drwxrwxr-x 1 ecaron rd 0 Jan 22 11:17 TEMP drwxrwxr-x 1 ecaron rd 0 Aug 17 2004 .Trash-ipaine drwxrwxr-x 1 ecaron rd 0 Jul 16 15:01 .Trash-lthyagarajan [ecaron@localhost drv_k]$ echo testing > test.txt bash: test.txt: Permission denied [ecaron@localhost drv_k]$ cd FTPU/DOCS [ecaron@localhost DOCS]$ cat FTPU.TXT cat: FTPU.TXT: Permission denied There is another server running a slightly newer version of Samba, ~2.2.3. It also has no need for permission restrctions. I can read/write/whatever on this server. I am starting to wonder if Samba 2.2.1 can not support the cifs coming from my RHEL 5. I have kernel 2.6.18-8.el5 with cifs version 1.10 and samba rpm samba-3.0.23c-2. We are trying to do a simple fix without taking down the server and upgrading Samba and the OS. Any thoughts or ideas on why this is happening and what to do is asked. Also if anyone knows where I can get pam-devel-0.68-10, please tell. -- Thanks for your time. -Swiftmind -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
