permission denied on smbfs mounted share (SAMBA)

This document (3242991) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10

 

Situation

The System is acting as a client to a Windows Server. A share is mounted onto the system via smbmount. This mount seems to be successful and a subsequent mount shows:
 
//192.168.2.10/Data on /mnt type smbfs

but any attempt to access this share fails with an ERROR:Permission denied
even so everything seems to be configured correctly and maybe worked with a SLES8 before fine.

Resolution

Do not use
smbmount
or
mount -t smbfs
as smbfs is deprecated. Instead use
mount -t cifs
