mount -t cifs permission denied by mount -t smbfs works fine

humbletech99 · 09-01-2009, 10:49 AM

I am having trouble mounting with cifs, but mounting the exact same command with smbfs works fine. The share is on another samba server and is set to full public guest access.

Code:

# mount -t cifs //servername/sharename /mnt/temp -o password=""
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
 
==> /var/log/messages <==
Sep  1 16:43:25 clientname Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
Sep  1 16:43:25 clientname CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
Sep  1 16:43:25 clientname CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13

# mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mnt/temp -o password=""
Anonymous login successful

I can then read and write files in /mnt/temp over smbfs but I cannot even mount it using cifs, but there are other cifs filesystems from other samba servers that mounted fine on this machine. I have the same problem mounting this one share from all linux boxen... but those same linux boxen can mount cifs shares from other machines just fine.

Any ideas why?

Try:

Code:

mount -t cifs //servername/sharename /mnt/temp -o guest

humbletech99 · 09-01-2009, 11:08 AM

same result:

Code:

mount -t cifs //servername/sharename /mnt/temp -o guest
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

I also tried:

Code:

mount -t cifs //servername/sharename /mnt/temp -o user=guest,password=""
mount error 127 = Key has expired
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

Sep  1 17:12:42 clientname Status code returned 0xc0000072 NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_DISABLED
Sep  1 17:12:42 clientname CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -127
Sep  1 17:12:42 clientname CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -127

It is using the nobody account as the guest account but the account isn't really locked, it is /sbin/nologin but setting this to /bin/false and /bin/true didn't help either. And doing passwd -u nobody didn't let it work after that either.

Another thing to try is:

Code:

mount -t cifs //servername/sharename /mnt/temp -o guest,nounix

humbletech99 · 09-02-2009, 03:48 AM

Code:

mount -t cifs //servername/sharename /mnt/temp -o guest,nounix
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

i would try it this way
mount.cifs //xx.xx.xxx.xx/E: /home/fysi/netlaufwerk/ -o user=leo

and when it works make an alias to your .bashrc
have phun

PS for a networkdrive in win 2003 serverenvironment

mount.cifs //xx.xx.xxx.xx/datapool$ /home/fysi/netlaufwerk/ -o user=pc04'

dont forget to replace the xx.xx.xxx.yy with the server address
and never use the "-o passwd" in the .bashrc as it is an securityrisk

no the share is intentionally anonymous and must be able to mount by itself, setting a user will not work anyway.

the network share cant mount itself!!

then leafe the user away or replace it with anonymus
but use this form of mount: mount.cifs
this helps (worked for me too)

I said by itself, ie at boot time without interaction as is standard.

Yes it it anonymously available from windows or from linux via smbfs, only cifs doesn't work and that is what is perplexing since smbfs does work.

can you mount it manually?

humbletech99 · 09-02-2009, 05:05 AM

That was the original post, I can mount it manually using -t smbfs but not using -t cifs.

strubbldesign · 09-02-2009, 06:19 AM

have you tried to mount it via
mount.cifs?

I don't know why but aprox. 9 months ago i have to change my aliases in .bashrc from "mount -t cifs //server/dir /mnt/networkdir" to "mount.cifs //server/dir /mnt/networkdir" and it worked again

try it..

humbletech99 · 09-02-2009, 06:50 AM

tried using mount.cifs but I get the same key error...
