Did you add the smbuser? smbpasswd -a
John, I tried it.
smbpasswd -a <username>
then tried mounting it again, and (unfortunately) got the same "permissions denied" error when I ran smbmount and then checked it with df.
I'm not running a samba server, I'm accessing a share from a Win2003 system, and my understanding of smbpasswd is that it would be used for setting passwords for a local share as accessed by other client systems. Am I missing something?
I used the same smbmount invocations previously with a Windows 2000 server, but it got upgraded to Windows 2003, and things broke.
The part that has me really scratching my head is that, while I persistently get this permission denied error when I try to smbmount the partition, I can access it fine with smbclient, not only listing files, but saving them to the local system!
