Hi I need to mount a windows-exported directory to be writable when logged in to my linux machine with my ordinary user account. The windows sysadmin gave me a username with a space in between - this trips up the mandrake control center UI tool
Now, if, after login I execute *as root* mount -t smbfs -o username=MYDOMAIN\\Edoardo\ Comar,password=mypassowrd,uid=501,gid=501 //EMU/VSS /mnt/EMU/VSS (where 501 are my linux ecomar user uid and gid), I get what i want. But of course I'm trying to add an entry in /ect/fstab and forget about it ... if I put there the line //EMU/VSS /mnt/EMU/VSS smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.emu.ecomar 501 501 and the credentials file has: username = Edoardo Comar domain = MYDOMAIN password = mypassword I don't get RW access to the share what did I do wrong ? thanks, Edo
