You can enable login information to be displayed after every CIFS login. You can do this any time you need to troubleshoot mapping problems. Login problems are often the cause of users being denied access to files they should have access to. CIFS login tracing is especially useful in producing verbose messages when a login attempt fails.
Turning on CIFS login tracing should be used carefully because every CIFS login is traced and results in console messages. Constant use of CIFS login tracing can result in many console and log messages.
