[Samba] ownership of smbfs mounts

[Hidong Kim]

Hi,

I'm trying to mount Windows 2000 directories onto a Red Hat 7.2 machine. The Windows machine is windows1 and the Linux machine is linux1. I've created a shared folder on windows1 called public. As a normal user on linux1, I've created a directory /home/windows1 with ownership me:users. As the normal user, I can execute this at the command prompt:

smbmount //windows1/public /home/windows1 -o username=me,password=pass


The Windows directory gets mounted on /home/windows1, and the ownership of /home/windows1 is still me:users. If I put the mount statement into /etc/fstab as

//windows1/public /home/windows1 smbfs username=me,password=pass 0 0


and then do 'mount -a' as root, the ownership of /home/windows1 changes to root:root. How can I put the mount command into /etc/fstab, and maintain me:users ownership of the mount point? Thanks,



Hidong
