I haven't taken the time to look it up, but including both 'username' and 'uid' in the '-o' argument may be redundant. Have you tried just using one of them? --- Troy Johnson - troy.johnson at health.state.mn.us Programmer / System Administrator Minnesota Cancer Surveillance System - MDH >>> andy.schmid at astound.net 06/18/04 5:57 PM >>> Hey, I cannot figure out what the problem is here. I am attempting to mount a remote unix samba share (server version 3.0.2). The problem is when mounting, smbmount takes the owner off the remote server instead of the one I locally specify. The command I am using is : mount -t smbfs -o username=schm1498,uid=1000 //mozart/unix_web /opt/test Password: [root at sphynx:/mnt]# cd /opt/ [root at sphynx:/opt]# ll total 24 drwxr-xr-x 6 root 4096 Jun 18 16:15 ./ drwxr-xr-x 22 root 4096 Jun 10 08:51 ../ drwxr-xr-x 1 murdok 4096 Jun 18 17:52 test/ [root at sphynx:/opt/test]# ll total 18874376 drwxr-xr-x 1 murdok 4096 Jun 18 17:52 ./ drwxr-xr-x 6 root 4096 Jun 18 16:15 ../ -rwxr--r-- 1 root 15364 Jan 16 08:51 .DS_Store* -rwxr--r-- 1 root 82 Jan 19 15:07 ._Temporary Items* -rw-r--r-- 1 root 352 Apr 12 17:35 .ldaprc drwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 May 14 12:35 Desktop Folder/ it gives the mount point the correct ownership, but everything recursive of it is set with the servers ownership. The share mounts fine on other various linux/mac/and windows machines but doesn't seem to work on my debian (sid) box. I am running kernel 2.6.6 and smbmount 3.0.4. Anyone have any ideas?
