I confirm this behaviour - in Edgy, don't have a Dapper to check - when
mount as fs type 'cifs'. But it works using 'smbfs'. As I still used fs
type 'smbfs' I didn't notice any problem, until now when I tested for
this bug now.

serge@cyberlab:~$ sudo mount /home/serge/Network/SERGE/
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
# changing back to smbfs
serge@cyberlab:~$ sudo vi /etc/fstab
serge@cyberlab:~$ sudo mount /home/serge/Network/SERGE/

Server is a Debian Sarge default Samba daemon. I'm not sure to what the
difference is with smbfs & cifs.

On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray,
Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right
answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of
confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. -- Charles
