mounting samba

I currently would like to set up a Win2K machine at home so that I can mount it's shares in Linux.

Code:

---

//pc2/media  /mnt  smbfs  username=administrator,user  0  0

---

When I try to mount this as a normal user, I get the following error:

Code:

---

cannot mount on /mnt/smb: Operation not permitted
smbmnt failed: 1

---

Is there a way to fix this?

I partially solved this problem by doing the following:

1. Create a directory for mounting where the permissions read and write are set for the current user

Code:

---

$ mkdir ~/smb

---

2. I then use the smbmount command to mount the Windows share

Code:

---

$ smbmount //machine/share ~/smb -o username=administrator

---

Must admit, this works pretty nicely.
