Access denied when running dos programs
Running dosemu 1.40 on linux mint ((k)ubuntu derivative).
I have been running dosemu (and dos programs) on a local harddisk without problem, but now wish to run on a network drive (a NAS box). I copied the folders with the dos files (msdos 6.2) and dos programs to the network drive and set the "$_hdimage" parameter to point to the location for msdos on the network drive.
The problem I am having is that all msdos programs run without problem but all non-msdos (WP, DataPerfect) programs produce an "Access denied" message.
I have read relevant material at http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/docs/README/1.4/ but my knowledge is limited and I cannot work out the solution.
Help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Victor Warner.
Relevant settings:
The network drive is mounted in fstab as follows:
"//192.168.1.33/victor /vw/maxtor cifs username=victor,password=XXXXX,uid=victor,gid=users,umask=0 0 0"
.dosemu reads:
"$_hdimage = "/vw/maxtor/dos"
$_lpt1 = "lpr -P lexmark"
$_lpt3 = "lpr -P PDF"
$_X_keycode=(off) $_X_font="vga12x30"
$_X_fullscreen = (off)
$_hogthreshold="1"
$_xms="16834"
$_xms="16834"
$_X_title="Dosemu (as user)""
Hello.
Maybe add the option nobrl for CIFS.
Have you checked the permissions of the files and they are ok? Hope this helps!

Ivan,
Thank you for the reply, what you suggested regard nobrl made no difference. All the file permissions (at least in Linux) are read write.
I tried booting into Freedos (ie removing the $_hdimage parameter from .dosemu), and tried launching dos programs again. Instead of getting an "Access denied" message, I was returned to the prompt with no message.
I hope you or someone else can provide some help with this.
Victor Warner.
