[NTLUG:Discuss] Yet another samba question (smbmount)...

[Opinionated]

Hello all,

I hope you can help me with this.  First, my system
environment......Linux Laptop (Sony PCG-F340) Pentium II 366Mhz with
Netgear PCMCIA card running Redhat 6.1 with kernel 2.2.14 compiled from
kernel.org (not redhat kernel source), and also running samba-2.0.6.
Laptop hooks up to an NT dominated/served network (Netbeui over TCIP).

Everything is working great with smbmount except for one little detail.
No matter what I do, Only root can write to an NT mounted share...all
other users can only read the NT share.  The /mnt/ntshare directory is
set to a 777 permission, and the NT share is set for everybody to have
full control.  I invoke the smbmount by using mount -t smbfs
//ntshare/Drive /mnt/ntshare -o username=username,password=password.  I
can also use mount.smbfs //ntshare/Drive /mnt/ntshare -o
username=username,password=password.  I have been trying to add uid,
gid, fdir, gdir options to the command (mount -t smbfs //ntshare/Drive
/mnt/ntshare -o username=username, password=password, uid = 500, gid =
501), but these never are not recognized for some reason and give me an
error.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
