Hi, i'm trying to get samba read write to work on my computer. I can write as root, but when i added this to my fsab //PLAYER/UPLOAD /home/ftpa/upload2 smbfs user,rw,username=xxx,password=xxx 0 0 and try to do a mount //PLAYER/UPLOAD i get. smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (1011,1011) smbmnt failed: 1 What should i do? Any help would be appreciated
Well, like the man says, install smbmnt suid root. chmod +s smbmnt (where ever smbmnt is) might work. man chmod has more detail. You may have to fool with your fstab file, too.

As root, run this command: chmod +s your smbmnt program. Now, the listing with the * at the end doesn't look familiar to me. My smbmnt hangs out in the /usr/local/samba path. Maybe the listing you show is a symbolic link? Maybe the listing you show is an old version of smbmnt not used by your current version of samba? I would try locate smbmnt and see if any other versions show up.
