Hello fellow Samba users,
I have a problem setting permissions using smbmount on my Linux /GNU computer
I have read/write access rights on NT Server computers, and on a Solaris
2.5
machine, running Samba. My Linux computer has Redhat 5.0, and runs kernel
revision 2.0.33. SMBFS support is installed as a loadable kernel module.
The smbfs client software is version 2.0.1, and was installed with Redhat
5.0.
The problem that I have is when I mount the share, I get _NO_ rights
to it at all! This happens regardless of which server I use: the NT server, or
the Solaris server: viz:
smbmount //solaris/share ~/mnt -u102 -g102 -f777 -d777
gives this listing when you type `ls -la ~/mnt':
ls: /home/jtullett/mnt: Permission denied
The command `ls -lad ~/mnt' gives the result
d--------- 1 jtullett root
I _can_ access the shares as I would expect (with read/write permissions)
via `smbclient'.
Strange, isn't it? Oh yes, and chmod doesn't work. I cannot change the
mode of he mounted directory; the same sort of permissions problem
arises from mounting a share from the NT server. This is really frustrating, as
I can access shareswith all the permissions that I would expect (read, write and
examine
directories), when running Windows. Do I actually _have_ to be running smbd
and nmbd to get access rights for the mounted shares with smbmount?
Could some kind person please point out what mistake I am making here?
TIA
