Louis,

  Thank your for your help. I'm really scratching my head on this one:

16:33 providence:/mnt/pv/home/david/tde13/tde> sudo mount -t cifs
//phoinix/config /mnt/phx-cfg -o username=david,sec=ntlmv2
Password for david@//phoinix/config:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

16:45 providence:/mnt/pv/home/david/tde13/tde> sudo mount -t cifs
//phoinix/config /mnt/phx-cfg -o username="RLFPLLC\david",sec=ntlmv2
Password for david@//phoinix/config:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

  Here is my config -- note: I am not running a domain, I have a STANDALONE
setup. (I have a small office - always less than 12 workstations - SSO is not an
issue for me:

Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions

[global]
        workgroup = RLFPLLC
        server string = Phoinix Samba %v
        map to guest = Bad User
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50
        time server = Yes
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        show add printer wizard = No
        os level = 66
        preferred master = Yes
        domain master = Yes
        dns proxy = No
        wins support = Yes
        idmap config * : backend = tdb
        admin users = david
        hosts allow = 192.168.6., 192.168.7., 127.
        use sendfile = Yes

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        read only = No
        browseable = No

[config]
        comment = Phoinix Config (Archlinux)
        path = /
        valid users = david
        force user = root
        force group = root
        read only = No
        browseable = No

  I can't see anything that could be causing a problem. I have used this setup
for at least a decade and it has always worked. Now this box is giving me fits.
Did something change for standalone servers that would prevent this from working
any longer?
