Help, I have a mounting question. I am using Mandrake 10 linux. I have mounted a windows hard drive computer using Samba. this has added this line in my /etc/fstab: //abraham/Joseph /home/gary/Documents/Joseph smbfs user,credentials=/etc/samba/auth.abraham.gary 0 0 Then I use samba to mount or just reboot. This gives me a directory called Joseph in my Documents directory. I can read the files. The problem is the ower is root with permissions that look like this: -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 2685 Nov 21 22:53 Burgess.htm* When I try to use the chmod command on the Joseph directory, nothing is changed. The owner is still root. Here is the command I used: chmod o=rwx Burgess.htm chmod 777 Burgess.htm Apparently one cannot change rights on a mounted shared file from a windows box. ??? My question is how do I link as a regular user? or How do I change rights to files on a mounted directory? or How can I read and write to this directory? Thank you, Gary Hutton |
