Hi all. Very simple question, hopefully with a very simple answer....
Here's my problem...
I'm mounting a Windows98(se) share (yes, with full permissions, no password)
onto my Linux box. Mounts just fine, all users can read from it perfectly.
However, NO users except for root can write to the share! How can I fix
this?
Here's my mount line for the share from /etc/fstab:
//mav/mav_z /mnt/mav_z smbfs user 0 0
I've tried mounting it with "mount /mnt/mav_z" which works, and I've also
tried using "mount -t smbfs -o guest,rw,fmask=0777 //mav/mav_z /mnt/mav_z"
which also works. Same result though, can't write to the share!
Someone on IRC suggested I add "umask=000", but all that gives me is the
"Usage instructions" for mount.
Please help, I'm getting desperate here!
