[snip] from `man mount`: Mount options for smbfs Just like nfs, the smb implementation expects a binary argument (a struct smb_mount_data) to the mount system call. This argument is constructed by smbmount(8) and the current version of mount (2.9w) does not know anything about smb. so I followed that to `man smbmount`: uid=<arg> sets the uid that will own all files on the mounted filesystem. It may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid. gid=<arg> sets the gid that will own all files on the mounted filesystem. It may be specified as either a groupname or a numeric gid. so therefore: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx,uid=iain,gid=niceppl //servername/sharename /mnt/share HTH, -- Iain Buchanan <iain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Langsam's Laws: (1) Everything depends.
