Gurus. I'm going mad. My eyes are going red from reading web-sites looking for answers. I've also read "Using Samba", I've read SuSE's docs, web-pages, archived mails etc. I can 'mount -t smbfs' on my Linux 7.2 but I can't write to those shares from Linux. They are shares on NT with ACL's and share permissions. All files appear to be owned by root on the Linux end, but I want to access and write to them from another account. I can't the change permission on the Linux end. I've evn tried opening up the permission on the NT end, still no difference. I can't do anything! What's going on? Where can I look for docs? Has anyone done this? Is it possible? (Some of these questions are optional). Should I be addressing my question to another discussion forum? Any web-sites out there with something to cover this? Any answers appreciated. Desperate Dan Samba Man!!!! This message is confidential and may also contain privileged information.
