Bug#679256: linux-image-3.2.0-2-686-pae: cannot use mount.cifs to mount a subfolder of a windows server share without having access right to the share itself

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.2.18-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

With kernel 3.2.xx you will no longer be able to mount a subfolder of a Windows 2003 Server share if you don't
have access right to the share itself (of course the user must have access right to the subfolder).

This is also a problem when using some NAS Devices, which give a user only
access rights to a subfolder of a share.

The reason of this is known upstream (see the 8 th reply
to
http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/Trouble-with-mount-cifs-while-smbclient-works-Ubuntu-12-04-tp4631671p4631800.html)
but doesn't seems  to be easily fixable.

This renders debian in some cases unusable as Windows Client (mounting as
Domain administrator always works ;-)

Reverting back to kernel 2.6.xx fixes the problem!
