Hello,
I've kinda solved my previous problem regarding WIN2K3 shares posted a few days ago by disabling SMB digital signature option on WIN2K3 server. Yet I'm looking for CIFS option. Meanwhile, I encountered strange error. Now, I can mount the share but cannot access it. It says 'Permission Denied' when I try to access the mounted folder. WIN2K3 share shows up when I do $mount . When I try to access the folder on which this share is mounted, it says Permission Denied. Btw, I'm doing as root, so even root cannot access this folder.
/proc/mounts has
//ServerIP/share /mnt/floppy smbfs rw,nosuid,nodev,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 0 0
I can mount other computers' shares (like I tried with another WIN2K server that we have, I was able to access it) I checked the permissions on /mnt/floppy directory so that root has rwx.
I've tried mounting and accessing the same share from a different linux box and it worked like a charm. I was able to access it. /proc/mounts on this machine has
//ServerIP/share /mnt/floppy smbfs rw,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 0 0
The only difference is in the version of samba package on these two boxes. The one that I was able to access the share from has samba-client-3.0.0-15 and the former one has samba-client-3.0.4-1.FC1. I've copied the latter smb.conf to the former one and tried but no luck.
I've looked into all the log files but didn't find any useful info. Any ideas what is happening here? Why can't root access when mount went thru well. I don't think its a windows box issue. I looked at the log file on our WIN2K3 server, I couldn't find anything regarding this share access problem.
Is there any other configuration issues that I'm missing. I've used the same smb.conf file on both the linux boxes. Any suggestions??
Thank you,
Sanjay.
