Honestly, it's enough to make you scream. :-(
I can't seem to mount a samba share:
$ mount -t smbfs //workhorse/OldHome /network -o
username=DACRIB+turgon,password=xxxxxx
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
(I'm logging into this laptop as the domain user DACRIB+turgon, domain =
DACRIB. That part works perfectly.)
I have the share name right, and I can query the list of shares on the
other server:
DACRIB+turgon at turgon-laptop:/$ smbclient -L workhorse
Enter DACRIB+turgon's password:
Domain=[DACRIB] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.0]

DACRIB
The folder on the server is chmod 777. The share definition just says:
[OldHome]
comment = The Old Home Folder
path = /OldHome
Windows stations on the LAN can see the share, and access it. It's just
this Linux laptop that can't seem to mount any shares. (I get the same
error trying to mount any share, either from workhorse or from an actual
Windows share).
I don't know if this has anything to do with it:
root at turgon-laptop:/var/log/samba# wbinfo -a turgon
Enter turgon's password:
plaintext password authentication failed
Could not authenticate user turgon with plaintext password
Enter turgon's password:
challenge/response password authentication succeeded
root at turgon-laptop:/var/log/samba#
I don't know why the plaintext failed, but the challenge/response
password worked to authenticate. And I know I am using the correct
domain ID and password.
Where to investigate next?
