------- Comment #5 from shirishp at us.ibm.com  2009-02-18 09:41 CST -------

I think this depends on the server. What is the cifs/smb server?

I tried it against a samba server Version 3.2.5-1.3 (smbd -V) from two
different linux clients and it works.  Against a samba server
Version 3.0.22-3 it did not from either of those two cifs client.

cifstest4 is running samba server version 3.0.22
cifstest8 is running samba server version 3.2.5

cifstest6:~ # uname -r

cifstest6:~ # mount -t cifs //cifstest4/share /mnt/smb_a -o guest
mount error 13 = Permission denied

cifstest6:~ # mount.cifs //cifstest8/smb8 /mnt/smb_a -o guest

cifstest6:~ # mount
//cifstest8/smb8 on /mnt/smb_a type cifs (rw,mand)
