Could it be that I cannot write to the Windows 2000 server because I'm using the NTFS file system on it?

See this:

I had something similar here and instead of using smbfs, I got around it by deploying cifs. I can now mount any share that I like just as long as I provide the appropriate domain password.

I've finally got round to this again! What I find curious 
is that if I log on to the Mandrake Machine using root I 
can access the folders I want and save to them on the 
Windows 2000 Server, however when I log on as a normal 
user on the Mandrake machine I can view, open read and 
access all folders I need but I cannot save to the folder.

Do you still think it's a Winbind issue? Also I do not 
have Samba Server running on the network as this desktop 
would be the only Linux machine on the network.

What do you think?
