Cannot mount cifs, but can browse via gnome

rgsurfs · 05-14-2013, 01:32 PM

Hello, I am a new forum user and have been working on a problem for a few days now to no avail !!!!

I am running RedHat 5 enterprise

I cannot figure out why I cannot mount my windows share drive from the command line, but I have no problem getting to it from my desktop: i.e. startx, clickon computer, network, windows network,... until I reach my server. I get the login/password/domain prompt. I enter my credentials and I get right into the server and I can access my shared folder named public.

However, if I try to mount via command line and enter the same credentials, I cannot get in. I get error -13 PERMISSION DENIED

I check dmesg and it shows SEND ERROR IN SESSSETUP = -13
NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD

mount -t cifs -o //192.168.1.1/public /mnt/global username=robert,password=robert,domain=hq

Any ideas????

tks

Robert

RHEL5 is probly running an older version that doesnt support the "ext security" of the newer windows OS's.

Try this in your smb.conf

Code:

client NTLMv2 auth = false

reboot, try again

Code:

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/public /mnt/global  -o username=robert,password=robert,domain=hq

Try switching the location of -o, that's the only thing I see wrong with the syntax of the command. The error reports a bad password so you can always drop the password= option off and let it prompt you for the password. Also probably not a good idea to put a password on a public forum.

I've always passwd the password through the user options

<code>
-o user="username%password"
</code>

--C

Either method should work, the only thing I saw wrong was that the -o was out of place.

aaahh, getting closer tks for info so far and yes, robert robert is not my real credentials :-)

I now did: mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/public /mnt/global -o username=robert
I got a password prompt, entered password and drive was mounted.. perfect... but

If I do the same thing with password option: mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/public /mnt/global -o username=robert,password=robert
I get the mount error -13 permission denied.... weird....

Have you tried connecting to the share with smbclient. If that succeeds try mounting it with different sec=... options,
the man page of mount.cifs has the values it can contain:

Quote:

sec=
Security mode. Allowed values are:

· none attempt to connection as a null user (no name)

· krb5 Use Kerberos version 5 authentication

· krb5i Use Kerberos authentication and forcibly enable
packet
signing

· ntlm Use NTLM password hashing (default)

· ntlmi Use NTLM password hashing and force packet signing

· ntlmv2 Use NTLMv2 password hashing

· ntlmv2i Use NTLMv2 password hashing and force packet
signing

· ntlmssp Use NTLMv2 password hashing encapsulated in
Raw NTLMSSP
message

· ntlmsspi Use NTLMv2 password hashing encapsulated in Raw
NTLMSSP message, and force packet signing
