samba - Aug 2004 - Mount at boot - and a bug - where to report?

just in case you didn't put this problem to rest...

I found I got the "tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access
denied.)" when I removed my windows user from the administrator group
and I was mounting to a c$ share so I suppose the windows account
requires admin access if I'm authenticating with it from linux.

PS: this problem is best debugged from un/mount scripts and NOT by
rebooting for each attempt

Hi,
your problem arises from abuse of the c$ share:  ;-)
the shares ending in$-signs are so-called administrative shares.
Their use is restricted to adminitrator-users of the windows-machine,
as they are ment only for administrative tasks.
Never use these shares for real filesharing, create a second share on
the root-directory of your c:-drive if you want to share it to some
other machines.
