I got Samba installed and working... this isn't my question. My question is how do I get write access to the Windows SMB shares from Linux? I added the following to my /etc/fstab/:
//thunderbird/backups /mnt/backups smbfs auto,fmask=777,dmask=777,rw,credentials=/etc/smbfs_mount 0 0
I can view the shares, but anytime I try to write to them (from any account) I get a access denied message. As you can see I have the permissions set to 777 and created the credentials file so my password wasn't viewable.
Again, I can view these shares and browse them, but I can't write to them. Any ideas?
Thanks
btw, the windows share in question has full access from XP and is writable by other windows machines.
EDIT: Figured it out. I removed the network sharing on the drive and added it again with the same settings (full access for all users) and it worked fine this time around. Gonna go try it on the other shares now.
