Hi
Since I upgraded my RedHat 6.0 box to samba-2.0.5a-1 and
samba-client-2.0.5a-1 I am having difficulties mounting my NT share
properly. I have a share which is fully owned by me (hugo) on the NT
side, and yet I can only mount it as root on the linux box - but the
strange thing is that as root I have to supply my user (hugo) password
to let me mount it.
Once it is mounted, I can only access the NT filesystems as root,
because everything is owned by root. If I try to reset the permissions
to user "hugo" from the linux side, it doesn't work. Yet on the NT side
all shared directories and files are owned by user "hugo".
I used to be able to mount like this:
smbmount \\\\pent-100\\hugo -c 'mount /mnt -u 400 -g 200'
that is, pass the mount command on to mount and specify the user with
linux UID and GID. That used to give me full access permission. In fact,
"man smb" suggest a similar command:
smbmount "\\server\tmp" -c 'mount /mnt -u 123 -g 456'
But none of that works.
What does work is
smbmount //pent-100/hugo /mnt
But as I said, this only allows root to access the files.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hugo
