[Samba] smbfs - Can't create files in subdirectories...
Greetings, I'm hoping someone can help... I have a Slackware 10.2 server running Samba 3.0.20b. When I mount a share with "mount -t smbfs -o username=user,pass=pass,fmask=777,dmask=777 //server/share /mount/point" (on another 10.2 PC) the mount completes successfully. Logged in as a user, I can access the mountpoint and create files and directories in the root of the mount point. I can also cd into the directories I've created. But, I cannot create additional files or directories within the directories I created (in the root of the point). My problem is that I cannot create anything within subdirectories on my Samba smbmount filesystem while running as a normal user. Creating files and directories within the root of the mount point (as a normal user) works fine. Logged in as root, I can create subdirectories and subfolders to my heart's content. Please, if anyone has any ideas on what to do / try, please reply! Thank you in advance, John samba1@thelinuxrevolution.net ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through Virus Free Email http://www.vfemail.net
