samba - Oct 2004 - uid and gid problems with linux as client and server

Hello,

I mounted a samba directory on my client with something like :
mount -t smbfs -o
auto,rw,users,username=<name>,password=<pwd>,uid=fred,gid=fred
//<servername>/data /mnt/server

Then mnt/server is own by fred:fred but the uid and gid are not
recursive. So I can not acces to some directory in mnt/server.
Note that the uid and gid of the server are not the same as the one on
my client.

Thanks,
Fred.

As far as I know smbfs uses uid and gid only for those shares which do 
not have their own access attributes. If server exports access 
attributes smbfs obeys them.

You can play with 'force user' and 'force group' attribute for
this
share to force access to be by uid and gid known on server.
