 Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2003 5:15 am Post subject: Samba privelege problem |
 |
|
I have an odd samba problem.
I have mounted a windows share on my linux box by adding an entry to my fstab file and then executing "mount /mount/point". This seems to work. If I'm running as root, I can read and write the share as I would expect. The problem is that if I am running as a user other than root, I can only read the share - any attempt to write gives an access denied, insufficient privelege message.
Any ideas? |

Only thing I can think of is the permissions in /etc/fstab.
user,rw 0 0 <--add that to your fstab line and it should work. |

I have the same problem...
fstab line looks like this:
| Code: | | //192.168.1.1/public /mnt/publicsmb smbfs credentials=/etc/genesis.credentials,user,rw 0 0 |
I can't mout as a user, nor can I write to it as a user...I can read and execute just fine...what am I missing?

You can put this on /etc/fstab: (I've just tryed with my wife's w98 k62 comp and mount as root)
| Code: |
//COMPUTER/SHARE /mnt/mountpoint smbfs user,uid=root,gid=users,noauto,fmask=750,dmask=750,username=winuser,password=winpasswd 0 0
