Hi, go to /mnt directory anda verify who is the owner of smb subdirectory and what is the access permission to it. try it as root: cd /mnt chown -R username smb chmod -R 760 smb mount -t smbfs -o username=username,uid=username //downtown/sysback /mnt/smb/downtown
mount will ask for username password. after sysback share mounted logon using username and try to access /mnt/smb/downtown Marcos Carneiro da Rocha On Thu, 2004-08-26 at 13:13, Wim De Smet wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, 26 Aug 2004 11:59:17 -0400, Jody Grafals > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > 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.
