I have had this problem on various networks which needed samba filesharing services from an Ubuntu or LinuxMint-based file server.
In every case, while the user's samba account had a password and allowed browsing (and manipulating files) of a share through a file manager, fstab mounts did not work. This is regardless of having set sec=ntlm or sec=ntlmv2 or sec=ntlmssp or any of the various other options typically offered as a "solution" (i.e. such as setting the file_mode or user or gid) In every case the solution for our installations has ended up being the same: reset the samba user's password and the mount works, regardless of setting options! I'm not sure what happens when the password is "inherited/converted" from the user's Linux account, but there seems to be a significant problem there, notwithstanding the ability to browse (not mount) a samba share. Perhaps this approach will help you with your fstab samba mounting challenge. I hope so and good luck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1113395 Title: mount.cifs on 13.04 fails to mount a samba share with 13: Permission Denied To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/1113395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
