Hi
I'm mounting a cifs share on my computer like this as root:
mount -t cifs //nas/part2 lynnnas -o rw,user=guest,password=""
How do I mount it so that a user can write to the lynnnas directory? At the moment only root can write to it which is a real pain.
I can read and write to it as a user if I use smb:/nas/part2 with dolphin but not if I use the mount command.
Thanks, L
Look at the owner and the protectionfields of lynnnas to whome this share is writable.

I have:
drwxr-xr-x 2 lynn users 4096 2010-02-22 19:52 lynnnas
The problem is that root owns everything in lynnnas
Than change the owner: mount -t cifs //nas/part2 lynnnas -o rw,uid=lynn,user=guest,password=""
Succes, Hans
Ok. Thanks for your patience. I did this as root. mount -t cifs //nas/part2 lynnnas -o rw,uid=lynn,gid=users,user=guest,password="" now everything in lynnnas is owned by lynn:users and is universally rw. I can create a file lin lynnnas and I can save it ONCE only. If I try to edit it it says I do not have write access even though the file is universally rw and owned by lynn:users. I can only think that this is a bug. Thanks. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
