I'm running Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES
release 4 (Nahant) Kernel 2.6.9-5.ELsmp on an i686 and I'm trying to
connect to a Windows 2003 Server (not a domain controller) as a shared file
using EITHER ONE of the following command lines:
#smbmount //img1/docs /home/documents -o
dmask=777,fmask=0444,gid=100,uid=501,username=documents,password=passd
-or-
#mount -t cifs //img1/docs /home/documents -o
dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0444,gid=100,uid=501,username=documents,password=passd
In EITHER case the mount succeeds and I can CD to the directory and all the
subdirectories underneath and LS each and every file with no
problem. Until I try to read, copy or move the file itself ... in which
case I get
cp: 10000099.tif: read error: Permission denied
But I can actually log into the Win2003 system as that user and all my
permissions on the directories are fine.
So I hit the net and the docs and the forums and everyone says that Windows
2003 has a problem with digital signing. Even Red Hat has an errata on it,
saying
Local Policies - Security Options - Microsoft network client - digitally
sign communications (always) - DISABLED
Local Policies - Security Options - Microsoft network client - digitally
sign communications (if server agrees) - DISABLED
Local Policies - Security Options - Microsoft network server - digitally
sign communications (always) - DISABLED
Local Policies - Security Options - Microsoft network server - digitally
sign communications (if server agrees) - DISABLED
Well ... two problems
1) That Eratta talks about CONNECTION failing ... not read errors.
-and-
2) There AIN'T NO SUCH entry on my Windows 2003!!
Under administrative tools -> local security policy --> Security settings
->local policies -> security
I have "digitally sign client communications (always)" and the same with
(when possible) and then two more for "server" communications.
Close enough, right?
So I change those & reboot
No difference
So I run regedit & search & change EVERY similar setting & reboot
No difference.
Since the mount works (either one) and all the directory traversals work
just fine ... it will probably comes as no surprise to you that (A) no log
file anywhere contains any relevant messages and (B) the DEBUG functions
don't work because they MOUNT worked just fine.
Oh yeah ... and smbclient works JUST FINE until I find a file and attempt
to GET that file ... then I get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
In triple verification that Windows is functioning, I enabled all sorts of
logging and find the following
1) The LOGIN of my "documents" is logged as success
2) My ACCESS of the directories from Linux is logged as success
3) The READ of the file "10000080.TIF - or whatever" is logged as SUCCESS
by Windows ... yet PERMISSION DENIED by Linux
I'm sure it's a Windows problem (it usually is) ... but I'm wondering if
anyone has seen THIS PARTICULAR color (error) before?
