Mounting to a Windows Share
>From my RH 8 box I use smbmount to mount a share to \\windows2k\fileshare1 <\\windows2k\fileshare1> . The mount point is created.. Now I want to use either chmod, or chown and change the file called 'testing.txt', no matter what I do I still get the error "operation not permitted". My whole point in doing all this is so my linux boxes can write to a file share in windows, and so I may change the ownership of those files and folders. Additionally since I'm using winbind when I use chown on a file or folder I want the ACL's on windows to be changed to reflect this info. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and if so what actions I must take? Thank you,

You may want to check out the Linux CIFS VFS at http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html I'm not sure if this can do what you want yet, but you can contact the author (Steve French) and ask. He's still developing it and input is appreciated.
