We have a Windows 2003 fileserver here on a domain. I've been mounting it via Linux for a couple years now. Some time in the last three months it stopped working. Perhaps some patch was applied that broke things? I have no idea what's causing it but I always get a permission denied error message. root@snikt(/mnt) :mount q-drive/ mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) here is the line from my /etc/fstab that has worked for quite a while. //10.1.0.5/Departments /mnt/q-drive cifs user=baker_s,dom=corp1net,password=[password],uid=500 Talking to the Windows admin (I'm all Linux) it looks like the server doesn't like my username/password!?! I *know* the password is correct I've tried it on other (Windows) boxes and it works fine. Am I missing something silly?
