Hi list,

now after 6 hours non-stop trying to solve this issue I decided to contact the list!
I actually just want to mount an samba share as guest via "mount -t cifs ...", but I alway get a "mount error 13 = Permission denied".

I tried the following (and many else)

  mount -t cifs //172.16.0.3/ebooks /mnt/ebooks -o guest
  mount -t cifs //172.16.0.3/ebooks /mnt/ebooks -o user=someuser,password=somepass

(both also with the sec options none,ntlm,ntlmi,ntlmv2,ntlmv2i or smbfs instead of cifs) and always got "mount error 13 = Permission denied". I just wanted samba to map me to the guest-account but it wouldn't!!!!


I then tried

  mount -t cifs //172.16.0.3/ebooks /mnt/ebooks -o user=realuser,password=realpass

(where realuser is a privileged user that really exists) and it worked!!


I also tried

  mount -t cifs //172.16.0.3/upload /mnt/ebooks -o guest

(where 'upload' has a force user/group option set. Look below in smb.conf) and it worked!! Yes, it mapped me to the right account!!


But no matter what I did SAMBA-WON'T-MAP-MY-ACCOUNT-TO-GUEST on other shares than upload!!!


Btw: I can connect with a windows-client and I can connect with smbclient and it works like a charm - which makes me much more confused ?:-(
