Whenever I mount a smbfs share no matter which options i use its always mounted with root permissions. I used this line to mount my smb share in 6.0 and it worked fine but in 6.1 it mounts as root. mount -t smbfs -o guest,uid=501 //server/share/ /home/dir/dir The UID 501 is a valid user! I tried using other otpions such as umask=777 gid=50 rw fmask=777 in all sorts of combinations with no luck The share mounts ok but the permission are set to that of root and other users can't modify or add files to that share.
The options to smbmount changed. This is fixed as of samba-2.0.6, but there is still a slightly different syntax.
yep that fixed it thanks
