[linux-cifs-client] cannot write to but read from shares with mount.cifs

[Timo Veith]

Hi all,

we have a file server on which Win2k3 (EE) is installed. I can mount my 
home drive from there using a linux machine (gentoo with samba-3.0.2a-r2 
installed) and my windows account credentials and mount.cifs.

Then I can read files or navigate through the dirs. But if I try to touch 
or write to a file I get "permission denied". If I do the same thing as 
Administrator no error occurs.

Well, one could say that the permissions of my account are not enough to 
write to certain shares but shouldn't that also apply if I log on from 
another windows client machine? I tried that and it works from there.

Are there any policies or adjustments which I have to make to get this 
working? What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Timo
