samba shared win box partition permission denied

matters · 04-06-2009, 06:58 PM

Hi all!

heres scenario:

i have winbox wich i have shared its partition to share it with my linux box

everything worked fine except the linux box was inproperly shut down

mount -t smbfs -ousername=administrator,fmask=755,dmask=755 //192.168.0.201/f /root/DISKF/

thats command i used to mount

now i can browse shared partition and i see it
but cant transfer anything to it or i cant create test directory

it says:
mkdir: cannot create directory `d': Permission denied

what could go wrong if my winbox is untouched

thanks!

Hi.

I'm definately not an expert on this, but here it goes...

Don't you have to provide a password along with the username? And what happens if you try and use the cifs file system?

i didnt specify administrator password on winbox so when it prompts i hit enter just like i did before when it worked.

when i specify -t cifs it also gives me permission denied

I see... what does "smbclient -L <winbox> -U administrator" output?

Seems like you should run the "testparm" command to debug your samba configuration file.

But anyways, I see that you have both "F" and "F$". Have you tried to mount both, and with cifs? Can you provide the output from these commands?

I believe CIFS is meant to replace SMBFS, so I'd like you to have a go at that. I guess this doens't work for you either:

mount.cifs //192.168.0.201/f$ /root/tata/DISKF/ -ousername=administrator,rw

?

Have you checked to logs on the windows box?

no it also dosent work,

i wish i could know where to check winbox logs, i tried to check event logger but cant find anything suspicious

what else it might be that will allow me to fix this problem?
