I am having trouble mounting a smbfs mount in redhat 7.3. I have read the man pages for mount,smbmount,smbmnt, but haven't had much luck. I am thinking I am just getting the syntax wrong. If I wanted to mount a system on my network with the ip address of 192.168.0.1, What would the syntax be for this? Any info would be of much help to me, Thank-You

Hi all I want to mount a smbfs file system in the /mnt/mountdir directory of my linux system. My problem is that I can only mount it when I am logged as root, which means that only root has an r/w access to the mounted file system, whilst other users only have a read-only access. I've tried to change the permission and/or ownership of the mounted directory, but the system refused to do so. When I tried to mount the filestyem under a user account, I had an error message telling me that I needed smbmnt installed. I entered the following command as root: smbmnt /mnt/mountdir -u myusername ...and now, there is something weird happening to this directory: It still exists but I can't enter it or remove it. How can I undo the smbmnt command and what do I have to do to mount the smbfs file system so that users other than root can have a r/w access to it???? Thanx in advance for your help Thierry
