cifs

[Nefarious]

After a long and bitter argument with a CentOS installation, I managed to get it to cifs mount an old Windows 98 partition. The problem is that I can not then share out the share...

I have a directory on my CentOS box shared and have mounted the windows share on a directory within the share. Despite the fact that I can browse the share from Linux (so I'm sure that it's definitely mounted), when other windows machines browse the CentOS' share, the folder I'm using as a mount point becomes seen as a file as soon as I mount the windows share.

The options I had with my cifs mount of the windows share were:

-o guest,servern=UTILITY,uid=99,rw

Any suggestions?

SELinux?

(if it's on you might want to put it in permissive mode and see if it makes a difference)

Due to other bits of software that I run, it's already disabled.

As amazing as the protection that it provides is, SE is just too damned restrictive most of the time.
