Hi everyone,

I run into this strange problem when I tried to mount SMB shares from Linux.
Can someone help?

Here are the setup:

Linux box: Dual P3-866 Xeon with 512mb ram and 18gb SCSI HD, LM 7.1 with
Samba 2.0.7-6mdk.
This is connected to our corporate NT network.  I tried the following while
logging in as root:

Suppose share I tried to access is "//ryserver/123".  I did "smbclient -L
ryserver -U username" and type in my password.  This spits out tons of
shares, of which "123" is one of them.

I then tried "smbclient "\\\\ryserver\\123" -U username" and type in my
password.  I get to the SMB:> prompt.  At this point I can't even do a "ls"
or "dir": I keep getting "access denied".  However, I *can* cd to
directories that I know exist, but just can't see the content.

I also tried "smbmount //ryserver/123 /mnt/qdrive -o
username=blahblah,password=blahblah,rw".  This mounts the share, as the
command "mount" shows.  However, "qdrive" doesn't even show up when I do
"ls".  If I tried cd to it, I get "permission denied".  As soon as I "umount
/mnt/qdrive", the directory re-appears!

Anyone have any clue as to why this is happening?  I can send print jobs to
a printer on the NT network through smbclient w/o problems, but can't do
anything with the disk shares.

TIA for any help!!

Andy
