[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#455479: failed to mount smbfs shares: mount error 13 = Permission denied

[Tim Ruehsen]

Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.27a-2
Severity: important

mounting shares via smbfs (also tried cifs - same problem) result in:
mount error 13 = Permission denied

the systems to mount are different linux systems:
- current stable
- 6 years old unstable
- SuSE 7.1

downgrading just smbfs to 3.0.27a-1 completely removes the problem.
(dpkg -i --force-all smbfs_3.0.27a-1_i386.deb)

my fstab entries look all the same (for example):
//dev-3/dev    /network/dev-3/dev  smbfs      credentials=/etc/credentials.oms,uid=oms,gid=users,noauto,user

the permissions for /network/dev-3/dev are 0777.
i could not track the problem down (strace, changing permissions on the credential file, trying with different users incl. root, changed options)
