cifs problem:mount error 13 = Permission denied

INCSlayer · 2008-06-08 21:32:00

i have a problem i have a mixed system enviroment at home so i have setup samba on my server.
however i cant mount things from it with cifs then i get

mount error 13 = Permission denied

if i mount it with smbfs it works but only at boot ie if i unmount it and then try to remount it i fails with:

4740: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

i also have a NAS unit which is mounted with cifs and works fine.
if i go to the server through smb:// in konqueror i cant see the shared folders but i can go into them ie i can click on the but if i modify the search way i can enter them

smb.conf on the server looks like this:

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba, 
# read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:
#  http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
#
# Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the 
# Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from: 
#  http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) 
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

# values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want 
# user level security. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for details.

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The

# elections. The default value should be reasonable

# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this

# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election

# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for 
# Windows95 workstations.

the enviroment is controlled enough that i dont really need to restrict access to the folders
and this is two entries from my fstab:
this one is for my NAS and works fine

//192.168.0.2/Backup /media/backup cifs defaults,password=***,uid=jesper,iocharset=utf8 0 0

this is for my samba server this one wont work at all (i have also tried with a nounix in it)

//192.168.0.10/Movies /media/movies cifs defaults,password=***,uid=jesper,iocharset=utf8 0 0

and this is one of the semi working lines:

//Remote2/TV-Series /media/tv-series smbfs defaults,password=***,uid=jesper,iocharset=utf8 0 0

if anyone knows a fix that would be very helpfull

Heres one of my cifs-lines in fstab: (I had a similar problem)
//server/Muzax /mnt/Muzax cifs credentials=/home/xxxx/.smbpassword,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,nounix,noauto 0 0

tried that didnt work i have however seemed to gotten rid of the samba fault message by removing the password=*** line now it mount proberly altough if manually mounting it asks for a password and i simply press enter and it moves on i still get permission denied when trying to mount with cifs though

I had a similar problem when I upgraded to the latest kernel. I have this in my /etc/rc.local:

# cifs san mount fix
modprobe cifs
echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled

INCSlayer · 2008-06-09 10:24:19

tried it on both the server and the client no change the log does shout:
Jun 9 12:19:48 Fat_Man Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
whenever i try to mount it
