Mounting Windows 2003 server share

[Blaqb0x]

Hi,

I'm using FC4 and I have a Win2k3 server as a file server. Now, when I login to gnome I can "connect to server" and mount the share on the server.

However, when I do

mount -t cifs -o username=test,password=password,ro //server.ads.com/share /mnt/share

I get


mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

I've tried disabling "signing connections" on the server and that doesn't work. Does anyone know exactly how gnome mounts windows shares. If I could just use that command then it should work fine.

Do the options in smb.conf effect how you mount smb/cif shares?

Can you mount it as root?
You may need to suid mount, mount.cifs and mount.smbfs.

Are you the owner of the mount point? Let's say you want to mount it on /mnt/server, try doing a "sudo chown -R yourusername:yourgroupname /mnt/server"
