RE: Mount command...again
::bump:: Has anyone got a suggestion for this? I've also tried to do this in the same manner (a la Linux) and been equally as frustrated. man mount describes lots of options for the command, but it does not go into all of the -o options, which are (apparently) what we're looking for here. Thanks. Jon Reynolds wrote: Ok, here is what I am trying to do. I am trying to mount a samba served directory on a remote system onto my local system. Both servers are running freebsd4.8. I want to mount the remote directory with the priveliges of the remote owner of the directory onto my local system. In Linux I can do it this way: mount -t smbfs -o username=,password=, uid=jonr,gid=jonr //sambaserver/ /path/to/mount/point This will send my username and password then mount the share with the remote users uid and gid. Is there a way to do this on FreeBSD? I have been reading the man pages for mount and mount_smbfs and can't find out how to do this. -- Jon Reynolds - Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Mount command...again
this isnt a a direct solution, but have you considered using nfs instead? it seems to be the better tool between unix systems. yussef On Thu, 05 Jun 2003 14:45:04-0800(AKDT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, here is what I am trying to do.
