samba - May 1998 - non root user access to smbmount shares

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Here's the problem we are having, We are mounting a share from a 
WinNT 4.0 SP3 box to our redhat 5.0   2.0.32 box using the following 
command:

smbmount //zues/raid1 /ISO/raid1 -I pooh.shellserv.com -u 507 -g 250 -
c winterhawk -U sambausr

The mount works fine but here is the permissions that I end up with
d---------   1 mspieth  root          512 Dec 31  1969 raid1 

it doesnt change the group ID no matter what I set it to, so no one 
but root can enter the directory.
