mount samba shares with specified user account.

[TheJanitor]

Hi, i have a Buffalo linkstation running kernel 2.6.22 with samba 3.x, to cut a long story short, how do i mount a share with specifying a particular user account?

what i mean is, through the web interface i can specify users, groups, and restrict access to shares; the problem arises when mounting the share - i get a permission denied message. i assume this is an issue with samba/users and groups, how would i go about solving this issue?

here are my current mount options:

mount //192.168.1.3/share /mnt/LinkStation -o rw,guest,uid=thejanitor,gid=users,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,iocharset=iso8859-1

thanks.

thanks.

There are option for within the "-o" field:

• user=XXXXX
• passwd=XXXX
• domain=XXXX
• workgroup=XXXX
