I'm not satisfied with smbmount's behavior, and really never have been. I don't think it'll ever be fixed in smbmount (as opposed to in mount.cifs), but that doesn't mean it's not a bug. Should it then be tagged upstream wontfix and voilà?

reopen 177584 thanks Package: smbfs Version: 2.2.3a-12 Kernel: 2.4.19 The smbmount command fails if the mount point does not have write access (i.e. 700 or greater). This is different than other mount types which will work fine on a directory with permissions of 555.
