Binary package hint: samba I am not trying to connect to a windows box, I'm running a samba server on another Ubuntu (9.10) server. This used to work perfectly in my Ubuntu 9.10 client. I copied over the exact same fstab lines and my /root/.smbcredentials file. fstab example: //192.168.1.2/audio /home/skerit/Muziek/Audio cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=skerit,gid=skerit 0 0 Which results in this error: mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) Browsing to the network share, using nautilus, works without a problem.
