[Samba] smbmount rights question

[Rich Peters]

Urban,

thanks for the reply.  I suspected it would be that format but was thrown
off track by the "mask" name.

regards,
Rich Peters

It's the same as the numerical format used by chmod. Or see the st_mode
flags in your fstat manpage. For example:
0775 gives owner and group "rwx" and others get "r-x"

"mask" is a bad name, it should have been "mode".


For smbfs you may also want to specify through uid/gid who the owner and
group are.
