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
