[Samba] users can't write to a subset of mounted directories
Hello I am connecting to an NT server via a Linux client. I am mounting the drive on the client via the following in smbfstab: //server/Users /home/dm215/Desktop/SambaBringover smbfs username=user,password=pass,suid,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=770,dmask=770,rw It works fine except the local user uid=1000 cannot write to certain directories. The initial directory (//server/Users) is writable by 1000, but only one of the subdirectories is! It is actually the directory tree I use most often. I think that this has not always been the case, but I can't figure out what happened. It is not an issue on the server side. Thanks for any help. -David

[Samba] Re: users can't write to a subset of mounted directories
I'll tell you what -- I now think this is a server issue, since I have the exact same problem with write access in root. However, I am still stumped. Any ideas? -David Original message: Hello I am connecting to an NT server via a Linux client.
