Permission denied when open a remote mounted directory

Hi,

when i want to "ls" a directory that i've mounted from a remote drive
i only get a permission denied error AS root!
It makes no difference if i mount a windowsshare over samba or
a directory over nfs. Always the same problem. That's pretty annoying.

A few weeks before it works without a problem so i guess
a software "update" could be the problem.

I also found several other threads with this, but no satisfying answer.

I hope someone could help! :cry:

Thanks a lot!
Mario

Did you set the correct uid and gid in your fstab?

Permission denied when trying to mount a remote directory?

No means no, man!

In the default configuration, NFS maps root to user nobody unless you specify no_root_squasch in /etc/exports. So I wouldn't count on it that the effective uid on the remote system is actually root...

I've tried the whole options like dmask,fmask,uid,gid, but nothing helps.
The windowsshare is open for everybody so it can't be a wrong password.

On my laptop this still works... strange...
