[Samba] Re: Samba still asking password

[Marcelo Bossoni]

Thank you man, but I found the error.
Nothing with samba, but with Kubuntu fstab approach, that mount the drives
with umask 007 instead 002 (to permit others to see the content of mount
point).
Changing the umask to 002 everything works fine.
