Dear reader, I recently upgraded my samba client from version 2.2.3a to 3.0.14a. Since this upgrade the uids and gids of a mount I make couldn't be set anymore because of unix extensions. I need to set the uid and gid of the share because my users are different from the ones on the server where the mount is. I was wondering if there is a still way to force a uid and gid. It seems kinda weird to me to have to downgrade to have more functionality. Mounting in windows works fine so why shouldn't it work in linux. Thanks for all your help, Sebastiaan Troost I use this command to mount: mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/share -o credentials=file,rw,uid=300,gid=300,fmask=664,dmask=775,noauto,port=139
