Hi there,

I have to admit Im new to samba and have been struggling for weeks now on
how to mount a wind0ws 2000 server share on my Linux box with read-write
access.  I have mounted the windows share using the command:

mount -t smbfs -o username=winaccount //windows/share /my/mountpoint

but the problem is it's mounted as read-only to a regular user.  Only the
root account have the write access to the wind0ws share.  How can i mount
the wind0ws share on my Linux box with write access to regular Linux
users?

Im using samba samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 on RedHat Linux 9 with Ximian Desktop.
It's also a thin-client server for some of the employees who also need
access to wind0ws shares.  I'm listing my smb.conf below and hope some1
would be able to help me out. Any advice, comments, links, would be
appreciated :) thanx in advice.

Cheers...
