| 629505 | 2008-01-11 21:39:00 | I've mounted a windows share on a machine running Debian, and can read the files fine. However, as I have mounted as root using sudo, "normal" users do not seem to have write permissions to the share. I've tried changing the permissions on the "folder", however htat hasn't helped. I'm sure I'm missing a simple point here, so has anyone got any bright ideas? |

| 629508 | 2008-01-12 05:17:00 | writeable = yes or write list = <user name> Does the share also get mounted auto by fstab? You may have to make permissions in there rw Similar to this: //user/my\040documents /mnt/usershare smbfs ,owner,rw,password=whatever 0 0 |

| 629510 | 2008-01-12 19:41:00 | From /etc/samba/smb.conf.example: # A publicly accessible directory, read/write to all users. Note that all files # created in the directory by users will be owned by the default user, so # any user with access can delete any other user's files. Obviously this # directory must be writable by the default user. Another user could of course # be specified, in which case all files would be owned by that user instead. ;[public] ; path = /usr/somewhere/else/public ; public = yes ; only guest = yes ; writable = yes ; printable = no |
