Couple other things to consider: Try specifying a domain with the username. <domain>\\username or in fstab domain=<domain> domain = domain name or computer name if you are not part of a domain Unless you need some specific "cifs" functionality you could try using "smbfs". I am using smbfs, but, there are some limitations, i.e., cannot transfer a file larger than 2GB, etc... Can you try setting permissions to 777 just to see if it would work? All of our mounts are set to 777 and permissions to the files are managed via windows acls. BTW - I *think* the differences between the terms "(always), (if possible), (if server agrees)" are probably due to different windows versions/service packs. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Darrel Barton Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 2:56 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: The SMBMOUNT plot thickens OK - all suggestions taken and implemented. Keep in mind (this is for Steve) I don't even HAVE the exact same prompts that you have. Where YOU have Microsoft network client - digitally sign communications (always) & (if server agrees) I have network client - digitally sign communications (always) & (if possible) =-=-=-= Not that big a deal ... but the fact that differences like that exist -for no real reason- just frosts my windshield =-=-=-= Anyway ..... Double verified permissions and enabled all the logging and here's what I get: Event viewer shows a successful logon by my mount.cifs client Event viewer shows a successful open of the target directory Event viewer shows a successful READ of the target file ..... EVEN THOUGH LINUX gives me a "permission denied" error. Samba logs on Linux show successful mount. Nothing else.
