I have a Windows Server 2003 system I'm trying to back up to a Linux host. when I access the share with smbclient, I can "see" the files (`ls` returns a list of files, etc) smbclient -U shareuser //server/sharename password But, when I try to actually mount the drive, I get "permission denied" errors trying to access the drive. (EG: using `df`) Running the following command takes about 10 seconds: smbmount //server/sharename /mnt/servername -o \ credentials=/path/to/credentials,ro I've also tried an alternate format: mount -t smbfs -o username=USERNAME //server/sharename /mnt/servername Same results both ways. I found a CentOS forum where somebody had problems with the RPM package, but retrograding to the package(s) he recommends didn't change anything. http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2307 I'm running the latest samba-client & samba-common on CentOS 4.2. SELinux is in warn mode. Here's the /var/log/messages when I mount: Feb 2 19:42:16 sol kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev smbfs, type smbfs), uses genfs_contexts Feb 2 19:42:16 sol kernel: smb_retry: no connection process Feb 2 19:42:46 sol kernel: smb_add_request: request [c554bee0, mid=0] timed out!
