All,
I am on Linux, Redhat 7.3 and I am mounting a samba filesystem from windows2k advance server via "mount -t smbfs //win2kserver/sharedir /mnt/fromwin2k". The mount was successfull, however when another user besides root tries to write to the a directory under the mounted filesystem, user get an error, permission was denied. As root, I have tried chowning the dir, but the system would not let me change the ownership on the directory. I've also tried chmod, but permission still remains the same. How do I mount an smbfs file system and give proper permission for a particular user to write to it?
Has anyone run into a similar problem such as this? If so, what was the solution? Thanks.
