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? | | Keith _______________________________________________ MLUG-list mailing list [email protected] http://mailserv.megabyte.net/mailman/listinfo/mlug-list -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBtwYFym3HAdrlsyERAkIMAJ9YQXUSh0dEdpdjs0NHoUMt63ARcACcCfLS +xZx6eEcLx854M316+xBNDA= =Kjcs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
