Hello All.
I've been having problems mounting the SMB share on a Linux box with
read/write permissions.
The senario is I've set up a Samba share called "Agencies" on
/proj/Agencies to force group to "agencies". I've set all the masks and
modes (except force unknown acl user) to 0770. The user I want to
connect as is in the agencies group. The guest is set to no and the
read only is set to no. When I mount the drive, I can't write to that
directory. The command I've tried amoung others that I think should
definately work is(one line):
# smbmount //merlin/Agencies /mnt/Agencies/ -o
username=zuko/agencies,password=secret,uid=root,guid=agencies,fmask=770,
dmask=770,rw,
The directory on the file server belong to root:agencies with a 770 mask
recursively. The user "zuko" is part of the group agencies on both the
file server and the local machine.
Is there something I should know about to be able to do this? Any help
will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Trevor.
