[Bug 543094] [NEW] mount error 13 - permisison denied when mounting samba shares on ubuntu server using cifs

[Jelle De Loecker]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

I am not trying to connect to a windows box, I'm running a samba server
on another Ubuntu (9.10) server. This used to work perfectly in my
Ubuntu 9.10 client.

I copied over the exact same fstab lines and my /root/.smbcredentials
file.

fstab example:
//192.168.1.2/audio    /home/skerit/Muziek/Audio        cifs    credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=skerit,gid=skerit 0 0

Which results in this error:

mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Browsing to the network share, using nautilus, works without a problem.
