DOH! Didn't reply to all... Hi!
I've always used smbmount rather than mount -t smb but they do the same thing. The command comes out looking something like: smbmount ntsharepath mountpoint -o username=something,password=somethingelse,uid=username all on the same line with only one space after the "-o" and no spaces after that. If you have to go more than one line use the "\" or escape then hit return and continue.This will let you specify the (windows) user you are accessing as and the (windows) password for same. The UID option can be an actual UID or a username, and specifies who is the "owner" of the mounted files. You can also use the argument scope=rw which is supposed to mount in read/write mode. Don't know, never had to play with it. Hopefully one of these options will let you write as well as read. To make it run automatically, you could make the command a script and put a shortcut to the script on the desktop. You still need to be root to mount it so if it asks you for a password out of the blue, try your unix pw first. Smbmount starts a daemon which will automatically pick back up if you reboot the server, you don't need to remount it. If you find that you can't unmount the share and have a stale tag when you go to mount it next time (you'll know if you get there) as root you need to edit the /etc/mtab file and remove the old refrence, then mount as usual. If you can spare the three pieces of paper, save yourself the heartache and print the man page for smbmount for refrence.
