Access denied when running dos programs

Access denied when running dos programs

[Victor Warner]

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!

Re: Access denied when running dos programs

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.
