 Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2005 7:56 pm Post subject: samba permittions beyond my minimal understanding |
 |
|
This is the case:
Here I have a server, which I don't maintain, and as I understand the problem is not in the server. There is a samba share on that server, and I have no problem reading or writing on that share from:
-windows
-xffm (xfce file manager)
-if I do smbmount or mount it with fstab and acces itas root
but as user I can not write to it.
so mount command is:
| Code: | | smbmount //server/share /mnt/smb -o username=xxx,password=yyy |
and that makes root able to read or write, and user able to read, but not write.
same thing happens if share is mounted from /etc/fstab
and that happenes from my both other computers.
I would do the easyest and blame the server's config, but than why I don't have any problems with accesing the same share from xffm? :S
Anyone? |

You need to specify permissions as you mount. Something like: | Code: | | -o uid=xxx,rw,dmask=0777,fmask=0777 |

that's great, it works, thanx so much.
But what do I need to fill the uid xxx with? (I tried without uid and it worked, but there was an error but in slovenian language and I don't quite know how to translate it I think, but it does the job. Probably the error is about not able to chown or chmod) |

uid is the uid for the user you are mounting with. If you use user, that should be O.K.
