Unless you have "invalid users = root" there shouldn't be a problem. Try creating a file instead: $ touch /mnt/tillie/tmp/test.txt And then see who owns the file - it should be root (if you're connected as root) but I suspect it'll be some other user. You probably need to specify the user when you connect, i.e. $ smbmount smbmount tillie/all /mnt/tillie -o uid=0,username=root Cheers, Adam. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
