I was able to mount the drive as a regular user. &nbsp;Any ideas how I can change permissions after I mount it?

Sorry it took me so long to get back. &nbsp;If you have a chance, could you email me what you did to allow you to change permissions after you mount it (matt@minime.msad71.net). <br />

I am running RH6.1 with samba 2.05a, it is on a NT domain. &nbsp;From the NT machines I can access the linux machine correctly. &nbsp;However when when I mount a NT share on my linux machine, only the root user can write to the mount. &nbsp;And the permission on everything is that root owns it. &nbsp;I mounted it using this command:<br />
smbmount //server/service /mnt/2001 -I xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U username <br />
It then asks for the password, and I enter it. &nbsp;I can use the share correctly, as long as I'm the root user. &nbsp;I can't change permissions to it. &nbsp;I've set up the correct permission on the mountpoint, and I can't chmod or chown. &nbsp;Any ideas on how other users can access, and write to the share?

Restrictive linux permissions with smbmount

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
