CIFS CLIENT MOUNT NOT accessible : Permission denied error

[Akram Shaik]

Hi all,

I am accessing a windows share on a UNIX mount point. Everything goes well until I mount the the Windows /PPR/BS/PSI/dat File system,

bdf: /pub/development/atgdata/dvlatg36/egl/egl_psi: Permission denied

cifslist shows that the FS is mounted,

$ cifslist
Mounted Object Mountpoint State
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\\JANBEBESVC49\PPR\BS\PSI\DAT /pub/development/atgdata/dvlatg36/e M


Kindly help out .

Thanks to all

Regards,
Akram

Shalom Akram,

Radical idea here.

Check the permissions on the share on the Unix box.

ll -d the directory being mounted.

If its owned by root and others can't write to it, this would explain the error.

Also the samba.log file on the Unix host would complain about this.

Hi Steven,

When FS is mounted ,

ll -d /pub/development/atgdata/dvlatg36/egl/egl_psi
/pub/development/atgdata/dvlatg36/egl/egl_psi not found

I have already changed permissions of the directory,
After I umount
drwxr-x--- 2 dvlatg1 users 4096 Oct 25 17:31 /pub/development/atgdata/dvlatg36/egl/egl_psi


After I mount the directory it is not visible at all,

One thin I noticed in cifs debug file

server: srvConnect server=janbebeiis02, connectTimeout=0, requestTimeout=0
server: srvConnect server=janbegefps01, connectTimeout=0, requestTimeout=0
srvConnect server=janbebesvc49, connectTimeout=5000, requestTimeout=60000

the windows mount with which I am having problems is the third line where time outs are 5000,60000 the others with 0.

Is this aomething to notice about?

Thanks again for all

You might not be authenticated. If not, then do a "man cifslogin" and authenticate for the share. You'll need a user/password for the Windows server that the share is on. Or you can modify your mount command:

mount -F cifs -o username=akram,password=cifsrules winserver:/sharename /hpux_mount

Hi Eric,

Back to work today ...

I tried your suggestion,

mount -F cifs -o username=dvlatg1,password=XXXXX janbebesvc49:/PPR/BS/PSI/dat /pub/development/atgdata/dvlatg36/egl/egl_psi
DOS: Share not exported by server

Something wrong on the WINS side ??

Thanks for all again ..

Hi all,

The problem is solved ,

Silly it sounds .

The windows Share was \PPR\ and not \PPR\BS\PSI\DAT

It worked with /PPR as the windows share.
