I hesitate to take issue with people who are obviously much more 
knowledgeable about the subject than I am, but my limited tests on our 
system haven't been able to cifs mount a share that I don't have rights
to.
As I said in my mail of 7th March, I can "mount -t smb" a share that I
have
no rights to; however I cannot "mount -t cifs" the same share.  If I
set
cifsFYI to 1, I get the attached information logged through syslog.  I 
assume, naively, that it is the cifs_read_inode that generates the 
ACCESS_DENIED error.

Just to save going back up the thread, the command I tried was:

 mount -t cifs //ip.address/UserShare1$ /mnt -v -o 
user=test,pass=******,netbiosname=ma
 
As the mount appears to have been OK, can I stop cifs trying to access the 
share after mount?  I tried -o noserverino but it comes back as an unknown 
option.

mount.cifs version 1.5
kernel 2.6.9

TIA for any help & advice
