[Samba] Can't write to a samba share...

[Tiago Cruz]

Hello Brad!

Please, it tries to add this line in its archive /etc/fstab:

===============================================================

//maq_100/drive_f   /mnt/server     smbfs      credentials=/etc/samba/auth.maq_100.TIAGO,fmask=777,dmask=777 1 1 0

===============================================================

===============================================================

[root at maq_703 root]# cat /etc/samba/auth.maq_100.TIAGO 
username = TIAGO
domain = 
password = xxxx

===============================================================

One remembers that this is an example, adapte it for its necessities

Brazilian Regards
Tiago Cruz
