SELinux is permissive. Additionally, I've run `setenforce 0`

I'm against a stone wall, here.

WTF?

Trying to keep this alive - I'm up against a wall here!

I can use smbclient and not only see files, but actually download them (with get) but I can't mount said Windows share locally to a drive - I universally get a "permission denied" error.

1. I've tried mounting via a line in fstab.

2. I've tried smbmount with every option I could find.

3. I've tried using mount with every option I could find.

How could it work in smbclient with the same credentials, but not as an smb mount? Is there something about how the Linux localhost is being announced, perhaps?

Did you add the smbuser? smbpasswd -a

John

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!

Out of curiosity, have you checked your firewall settings on both machines? Make sure that 137-139 and 445 are open. Most people seem to be forgetting 445 these days. That and the windows firewall likes to cause issues....

The firewall on the mounting host is pretty much the CentOS default, which includes the "Established,related" clause in /etc/sysconfig/iptables.

To be sure, I opened up 137-139 & 445, still got the same results, so I turned off the firewall altogether. Same results.

This is driving me NUTS! I've got smb mounts of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Win98, and other Samba shares working elsewhere. What's the difference between smbclient and smbmount from the perspective of permissions?

Smbclient reads /etc/samba/smb.conf and uses the password server and domain (workgroup) if set there. I'm not sure if smbmount does the same, but I've had a few surprises when smbclient (as used by backuppc) used a domain login when I thought I was specifying a local account on the target machine.

And it your SMB machine is a W2K3, try mount -t cifs //SERVER-NAME/share_name /mnt/windows-share -o "username=VALID_WINDOWS_ACCOUNT,password=PASSWORD_FOR_VALID_ACCOUNT"

It should work better with new W2k3 AD Security
