[Samba] Problems accessing files with (lib)smbclient

[Malte S. Stretz]

Hi!

Seems like I need some help with a really awkward problem I stumbled over 
today. In a remote access solution I developed, a Perl CGI script accesses 
a Windows NT 4.0 Server through Filesys::SmbClient and thus libsmbclient. 
Browsing the shares and the directories works perfectly but as soon as I 
try to get any file, it fails with a "Permission denied", even if I try it 
with the Administrator account.

The installed Samba is version 2.0.7 (SuSE 7.1) but I compiled 
libsmbclient.so from the 2.2.4 sources.

A try with smbclient (2.0.7) on the same machine gives me the following (the 
same happens with every other file in whichever directory it is):
| paul:/var/log/httpd # smbclient //ntserver/Projekte -UAdministrator
| added interface ip=192.168.0.99 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
| added interface ip=127.0.0.254 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0

On my local installation everything works as it should. I've got Samba 
2.2.1a (SuSE 7.3) in combination with a compiled libsmbclient.so 2.2.4. The 
server I access is a Windows 2000 Professional Workstation.

Has anybody an idea, why I can't get any files while it's no problem at all 
to list the directories (permissions are correct)?
