Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
I'm using samba to share files between my home computer (dual boot
Windows/Ubuntu 8.10) and my laptop (Ubuntu 8.10). Most of the time,
Windows is running at the home computer. Sharing goes fine with the
following fstab entry:
//172.19.3.4/Media /home/<user>/media cifs
noauto,users,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,password=,iocharset=utf8 0
0
With this command line, a user can mount it (if Windows shares the
directory!).
Yesterday I booted again to Ubuntu on my home computer and there were a
lot of updates, I also think Samba got updated. I noticed that all my
shares were unshared, so I had to share my folders again. I did so,
using the 'Share' tab of the folder and I gave access to guests.
Now, on my laptop I can only mount the share as super user (sudo mount
~/media). If I mount the share as normal user, I get the following
message:
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
This used to work, but now it doesn't. So, I think this justifies a bug report.
Hopefully, this makes Ubuntu better :-).
(Again: If I share a map on Windows (Desktop) and access this map with Ubuntu
(Laptop), a user can mount it. If I share a map on Ubuntu (Desktop) and access
this map with Ubuntu (Laptop), a user cannot mount the share.)
Some more info:
Both computers are running the following version of Samba:
>apt-cache policy samba
