-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi List,
I've been having a problem with samba every since I started using Linux: I have created a share on one of my computers. Here is the relevant part from smb.conf: [keith_private] path = /home/keithvassallo_net/shared comment = Keith's private directory on atomserv.net valid_users = keithvassallo_net public = no readonly = no writable yes On the other computer, I mount the samba share, from /etc/fstab: //192.168.1.100/keith_private /home/keithvassallo/keith_private smbfs credentials=/home/keithvassallo/.smbpasswd 0 0 As you may have noticed, the username on the computer sharing is keithvassallo_net, whilst on my PC (the computer I am mounting on) the user name is keithvassallo. The above arrangement works - but /home/keithvassallo/keith_private is mounted as readonly for all users except root. This means I have to login as root to write anything to the share, which is starting to bother me (after 4 years, you start getting fed up of it). Anyway, I've tried several modifications to the line in fstab: //192.168.1.100/keith_private /home/keithvassallo/keith_private smbfs credentials=/home/keithvassallo/.smbpasswd,uid=keithvassallo,gid=users 0 0 When I tried the line above, the permissions for files were set to 505 - - the uid of keithvassallo_net on the PC sharing the files. Can anyone please help?
