Michael,
i am currently accomplishing what you are communicating that you are trying
to do, mount an NT share(s)/drive(s) on Linux with specific ownership and
permissions set.
in the future, descriptively provide what you have tried and what has failed.
the following is a simple cut/paste from a Linux box here, showing exactly
what i did and that it worked:
<paste>
/home/jb>smbmount -h
usage: smbmount //server/service mount-point [options]
Version 2.0.1
-p port Port to connect to (used only for testing)
-m max_xmit max_xmit offered (used only for testing)
-s servername Netbios name of server
-c clientname Netbios name of client
-I machinename The hostname of the machine
-U username Username sent to server
-D domain Domain name
-u uid uid the mounted files get
-g gid gid the mounted files get
-f mode permission the files get (octal notation)
-d mode permission the dirs get (octal notation)
-C Don't convert password to uppercase
-P password Use this password
-n Do not use any password
If neither -P nor -n are given, you are
asked for a password.
-h print this help text
/home/jb>smbmount //jb/d$ d -c unix -U Administrator -u 500 -g 500 -f 700
-d 700
Password:
/home/jb>ls -dl d
drwx------ 1 jb jb 512 Dec 31 1969 d
/home/jb>ls -l d
total 96
drwx------ 1 jb jb 512 Dec 21 20:18 RECYCLED
drwx------ 1 jb jb 512 Dec 23 08:28 backup
-rwx------ 1 jb jb 4379 Mar 31 08:39 ffastun.ffa
-rwx------ 1 jb jb 24576 Mar 31 08:39 ffastun.ffl
-rwx------ 1 jb jb 16384 Mar 31 08:39 ffastun.ffo
-rwx------ 1 jb jb 49152 Mar 31 08:39 ffastun0.ffx
drwx------ 1 jb jb 512 Dec 16 12:28 incoming
</paste>
looks like it works just fine and wonderfully here. 8-)
have you tried the above? have you read the man page(s) associated with
this so that you understand what's happening in the above command line? i
am not asking to patronize, but to further assist you and know where you're
coming from at this point.
the above command line, in relative order, does the following:
a) calls smbmount to mount from server 'jb', using share 'd$' on server 'jb'
b) mounting to directory 'd' on the Linux machine (make sure it exists first)
c) using the -c switch to specify the client name (the linux machine) as
unix (my domain name is long and requires i specify it)
d) using the -U switch to log into the NT box as 'Administrator'
e) using the -u switch to specify the uid the mounted files get
f) using the -g switch to specify the gid the mounted files get
g) using the -f switch to specify the permission the files get (octal
notation)
h) using thte -d switch to specify the permission the directories get
(octal notation)
i hope this helps. if you are still having troubles, try including more
detailed information. best of luck.
-Jeff
