Well, after hearing nothing, and being irritated enough with this problem, I did some exhaustive googling and turned up with this: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-June/msg00769.html Apparently there are now 2 security policy changes you must make on a 2003 dc instead of just the one like before. Once I had our Win Admin make the change, I was able to smbmount everything again. /******** Previous **********/ Hello all, hopefully someone has run into this before. I was previously running RH9 with Samba 3.0.2a and would normally mount a document folder to a Win2003 server share. Prior to the upgrade, my mount would work fine, but after upgrading to FC2 (Samba 3.0.5) I now receive "Permission denied" when trying to access the succesfully mounted share. In addition, when I try to 'ls -al' in the mount folder I see: ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? David Also, when I do a 'df' it shows 'Permission denied'. I thought there might be an issue with the version of samba that came with FC2, so I upgraded to the 3.0.6-1 rpm's I downloaded from the samba.org site - no luck. I can access my folder just fine from a Windows XP SP1 client. Nothing has changed in regards to the permissions on my folder or share - its been this way for over a year. On the share Everyone has full control, on the directory permissions, my account and administrators have full control. When I try to mount as administrator, I get the same thing... so I'm guessing a permission bit Windows sends is getting mapped incorrectly. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
