Samba and guest shares using VFAT




Hello,

    I was wondering if anybody has managed to share data on a VFAT partion
using a Samba (2.0.5a) share.  The problem I am having is that when I mount
the VFAT partion under /storage, it mounts rw only for root.  I have set the
permissions for the world on /storage, but the permissions are reset when it
is mounted.  Thus, a guest user on samba can not write to the share, only
read.  I have samba set up correctly - to the best of my knowledge.  If
somebody wants to see my smb.conf file, I can send it tonight.  However, I
believe the problem to be the mount permissions.  I have tried mounting
using a specified uid/gid to no avail.  Any ideas?
