Still not getting anywhere, the options gid uid umask seem to have no effect with smbmount and due to the way need to access w2k3 shares. I have only been able to mount the drive using the command smbmount. I have not been able to get fstab or `mont -t smbfs` to pass the proper authentication to the w2k3 server. I DO have write access as root. using the command #`smbmount //downtown/sysback /mnt/smb/downtown/ -o username=username/servername%'!password'` But I'm trying to get a regular user R/W access to a file on the W2k3 server. I have Quickbooks 2004 running under crossover and the quickbooks data file is on the w2k3 server. If I can't get the thing to mount the way I want it, Can I somehow give the user (myself) root access to this directory?
I'm Running a fresh install of Debian Sid/Unstable kernel 2.6.8-1-k7 and reiserfs as my main file system. If any of that matters.
