Amanda, I am assuming you are using "mount -t smbfs"/smbmount. Other options I specify are uid=<some valid user name on linux box>, gid=<valid group on linux box>,rw (rw=read/write, default is ro=read only). In my case I use: mount -t smbfs -o credentials=<credentials file>,uid=<user name>,gid=<group name>,rw //<windows server name>/<share name> /<mount point> Brendan -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
