I want to mount a smbfs file system in the /mnt/mountdir directory of my linux system.
My problem is that I can only mount it when I am logged as root, which means that only root has an r/w access to the mounted file system, whilst other users only have a read-only access. I've tried to change the permission and/or ownership of the mounted directory, but the system refused to do so.
When I tried to mount the filestyem under a user account, I had an error message telling me that I needed smbmnt installed. I entered the following command as root:
smbmnt /mnt/mountdir -u myusername
...and now, there is something weird happening to this directory: It still exists but I can't enter it or remove it.
How can I undo the smbmnt command and what do I have to do to mount the smbfs file system so that users other than root can have a r/w access to it????
Thanx in advance for your help
Thierry
