I have the same issue. I *think* it comes from root mounting the share upon boot. Like you, if I mount the share (as user), then it works as expected. I haven't tried having the system run a script upon login to mount the share. But it might be worth a try. I wish I knew what file I would have to modify for the on-boot method to work correctly. Maybe others on this list are more knowledgeable about such things.
I don't think root is the problem, as I mounted it manually as root and root also don't have write access when it is mounted from fstab. I have also thought of writing an init script to do the mounting, if all else fails. You basically only need to create a script that contain the smbmount command as you would enter it on command line. Then you place the script in /etc/init.d and use the runlevel editor to assign the script to runlevel 2,3,5. (I think those runlevels should be fine) You should actually add the integration for 'start', 'stop' and 'restart' also. I will write a script later on when I have time, as I must still see what rc functions SuSE use and how they work. But I would prefer to have it work the correct way - with fstab. -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf http://www.trusoft.za.net <-------------------------------------------------> < The box said: Requires Windows 95 or better... > < So I installed Linux > <-------------------------------------------------> Disclaimer and Confidentiality Warning This message is intended for the addressee only.
