[Samba] Smbmount question

[James W. Beauchamp]

Joel:
My problem was solved after I did a search on the archive.  I found a post
from Urban widmark that addresses this issue as being related to a bad rpm
package.  When I placed a symbolic link to smbmnt in /usr/bin the following
works as follows:

 mount -t smbfs //bb2/customers /mnt/customers -o
username=linux,gid=users,fmask=770,dmask=770
Password:
[root at george mnt]# ls -al
total 24
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root         4096 Jun 25 16:20 .
drwxr-xr-x   21 root     root         4096 Jun 25 17:24 ..
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jun  9 21:47 cdrom
drwxrwx---    1 root     users        4096 Jun 25 18:32 customers
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jun  9 21:47 floppy
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jun 25 16:20 shipping

Thus the directory is successfully mounted with the desired owner and group
and file permissions.

Thanks for your help and I hope this will help someone else.

James
