Public bug reported: I've got a server running Ubuntu 13.04/SAMBA 3.6.9 that exposes a number of private and public shared folders. The server and client both have a user account with the username jfritz.
When I try to mount a public share from my Ubuntu 13.04 laptop by clicking on it in the file explorer (nautilus), the share is mounted with guest permissions and I cannot write to the folder, but I can read all of the files. However, if I manually mount the share from the terminal with the command mount -t cifs -o username=jfritz,password=mypassword //server.ip/sharename /localfolder I get the read/write permissions of jfritz, as expected. Further, if I mount the share with smbclient //server.ip/sharename -Ujfritz, I get the read/write permissions of jfritz, as expected. Finally, Windows machines that are logged in to an account with the same username and password as jfritz also pass the correct credentials, and are able to mount the share with read/write privileges. tl;dr: Ubuntu 13.04 does not correctly pass the currently logged in user's credentials to a SAMBA server when mounting shares via the file explorer. A copy of my smb.conf can be found at http://paste.ubuntu.com/6055511/, although I don't suspect that this is a SAMBA issue, as it works as expected with all non-nautilus clients.
