Due to a little bit of paranoia I have found an interesting, though rather annoying, bug in smbmount. If a samba user's password is longer than 23 chars, smbmount just cannot deal with it, producing the following error:
session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed Googling was not much of a help, neither was searching through gentoo bugs and gentoo forum. Although there are a couple of forum entries which are probably related but were never actually solved: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-429074-highlight-samba+errnoaccess.html http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-418048-highlight-samba+errnoaccess.html Another interesting thing is that the bug is definitely not related to samba server configuration: smbclient still works perfectly well. Using mount.cifs is OK as well. Does anybody have a slightest idea what could be the problem solution? >From the former forum link one can conclude that it is a specifically gentoo problem, though I cannot check this, as I don't have any other linux distribution available right now. So should I file a bug report? I can understand that, say, 24 chars password could seem too long, however I don't remeber that such limitation was documented somewhere. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
