samba - Jul 2007 - Getting Owner of Files on Mounted Windows Share

Hello everyone,
I have an obscure issue that I have been so far unable to find the
answer to.  I have successfully mounted a windows NTFS file share using
samba via the following command:

mount -t smbfs -o username=<USERNAME>,workgroup=<WORKGROUP>
//winserver/winpath /mnt/win

It mounts just fine but performing an ls -al command shows my user (or
"root") as the owner of all files, when this isn't the case.  Is
it
possible to get the proper owner of files through a samba-mounted
windows file share?

Thanks in advance.

Are you mounting the fs with the root user ? does it change if you mount
with another user?

Are people just ignoring my question because I messed something up, not
getting it, or does no one know anything?

You had two answers already.

First of all, smbfs has been deprecated.  Use cifs instead.  For mounting
remote Windows shares, refer to this wiki article:

http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares

You answer is also there (see the uid= comment).
