Readonly SMB connections?

[jasonlambert]

hiya,

When connecting to a Windows NETBIOS share with the mount command, eg:
mount -tsmbfs //server/share /mnt/server_share -o -username=xyz

Is there anyway that i can make the share readonly from the side of the linux client?

ie, atm it is read and write access the above command provides me with, what do i need to do (without modifying the windows machine) to my command to make the mount read only?

Don't know if it will work or not since most share info. out on the net is connecting a win box to a linux share not ther other way around but have you tried -r ?

see http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbmnt.8.html

i just had a look at the script i am using, currently im using just "mount" as opposed to "smbmnt"

I will have a go using smbmnt, cheers dude

You can always shared the name as readonly on the smb.conf
# Share readonly to john and group engineer
[application]
comment = engineer
path = /home/engineer
public = no
writable = no
printable = no
valid users = john,@engineer
