Help with writing to Samba shares

[SagaciousKJB]

Well, I have this script that automatically tars up my web directory and copies its contents to an NFS share. Recently, I tried Samba out because a friend told me about the smbmount utillity.

I couldn't figure out how to put it into an fstab entry, so I made an init script with the smbmount command. Everything seemed to work, but I'm not mounting with write permissions it seems.

I tried this command

smbmount //server/share /localdir -o username=usr,password=pass, rw

However it still does not let me write.

All of my shares are designated writeable with the line

"writeable = yes"

In their declarations, and in fact if I load up Remote Places from Konqueror, I can write and create new files and everything, just not from the smbmounted localdirs.


Can anyone give me an idea where I'm going wrong using smbmount, or give me a general idea of how to mount a remote share for writing?

try the option "valued users"
sometimes i had also faced this and the "valid users" option fixed it.
