samba - Aug 2006 - can't write to cifs shares

Hello everyone,

First, I sent this E-Mail to the samba-cifs but it seems nobody is on that 
list because I cannot find any archives so I'll give this list a shot.

I'm David. Just joined the list.

I am having a severe problem with cifs.

Could someone help me out here?

For some reason, I cannot write to the shares that I mount no matter what I 
try.

I added this to my fstab file:

//192.168.2.3/d /media/d cifs ?
credentials=/home/david/.smbpasswd,uid=david,gid=david 0 0
//192.168.2.3/e /media/e ? ? ? ?cifs ? ?
credentials=/home/david/.smbpasswd,uid= ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
?
david,gid=david 0 0

A little about my setup:

The server is running SuSE 10.1 using smbfs and my laptop is running FC 5 and 
mounting the shares from the server onto my laptop using cifs.

I added the lines above to my fstab on the laptop and I can mount and unmount 
the shares as root but not user and I cannot write to the shares as user.

I would like to be able to mount as user and write to them as user.

Any help would be so appreciated.

The linux-cifs-client list is active.

man fstab
man mount

(hint: look for the "user" option)
