To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.

First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)

Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.

Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.

That's a solaris specific badness you've been caught by.
It means that the permissions on the underlying mount point for /samba/tcgt_tendering are not sufficient for non root users to see it. The filesystem that is mounted on /samba/tcgt_tendering may have sufficient permissions but you will still see that error (and other strange behaviours) until you unmount /samba/tcgt_tendering, set it's permissions to 0555 (anything else is generally either needlessly risky or causes the problems you are seeing), then mount it again.

hi praveen
how r u
just try to give full permissions for df
in /usr/sbin/df
then try

With all due respect, I really feel this would be a bad idea. Giving df elevated permissions is not necessary to fix this problem, and it's always a bad idea to elevate permissions beyond the minimum required.
