I have 2 client computers which mount this share each one with each (identical) /etc/fstab: : //192.168.163.1/var /mnt/var cifs _netdev,username=xxxx,password=yyyy On a first client, I try to ls : ls /mnt/var/www and I get well the contents of www On the second client, I get : ls: cannot open directory /mnt/var/www: Permission denied How it is possible ? where to look for ? please note that, on the 2 clients, if I ls : ls /mnt/var gives me correct results !! Thank you for any help. PC
