linux samba cifs permission-denied bash

I'm dealing with I've been banging my head against this for hours. I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I'm working with an scenario while trying to mount a Samba share from a Fedora 39 machine to an NFS client. The command I use is: ```bash sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/share -o username=myuser,password=mypassword ``` However, I'm getting the behavior: `mount behavior(13): Permission denied`. I've ensured that the Samba share is correctly configured to allow access to myuser. The configuration in `/etc/samba/smb.conf` looks like this: ```ini [share] path = /srv/samba/share valid users = myuser read only = no browsable = yes ``` Additionally, I've checked the permissions on the shared directory: ```bash ls -ld /srv/samba/share ``` It shows `drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 10:10 /srv/samba/share`, so it seems like the share itself should be accessible. I've also tried changing the permissions to `chmod 777 /srv/samba/share` to rule out permission issues, but that hasn't resolved the question. On the client side, I've installed the necessary CIFS utilities: ```bash sudo dnf install cifs-utils ``` I also tried adding the following options to the mount command without success: ```bash -o vers=3.0,uid=$(id -u myuser),gid=$(id -g myuser) ``` Could there be a SELinux policy preventing access, or am I missing a critical configuration detail? How can I troubleshoot this further and resolve the permission denied behavior? I'm working on a CLI tool that needs to handle this. Has anyone else encountered this? This is part of a larger service I'm building. How would you solve this? My development environment is Windows 11. Has anyone else encountered this?
