Thanks Ken,
That worked, plus another way worked also:
mount -t smbfs -o rw,username=rsharpe,password=xxxxxxx -o dmask=777
//bedford/apps /apps
Much appreciated

Subject: RE: Samba Question
Okay; it took me a few moments to figure it out. When you do the mount,
files are (apparently -- I'm going by empirical evidence, here) created as
"root"... and if root doesn't have permission to write the drive, you're
SOL. The way around this is the uid & gid options, thusly:
mount -t smbfs -o
rw,uid=rsharpe,gid=rshapre,username=rsharpe,password=xxxxxxx
//bedford/apps /apps
(Yeah, that should all be on one line.) Then, your writes will occur as
-you-, and not as root. I have no idea if a local Unix account is
required, but I'm guessing not.
