Re: SMB Connections

I created the mountpoint as root, but was able to read/write to the
filesystem as me. The mountpoint is "covered up" by the filesystem you are
hanging over it. After issuing the mount command, the whole thing should
show as owned by the user and group that was specified in the uid, gid
options.

Here is the mountpoint before and after mounting:

<mailto:root@aixprod2> root@aixprod2: /> ls -ld /mnttst
drwxrwxr-x 2 root system 256 Aug 07 19:41 /mnttst

<mailto:root@aixprod2> root@aixprod2: /> ls -ld /mnttst

drwxr-xr-x 1 rweinman global 16384 Dec 31 1969 /mnttst

I'm almost there. Just can't seem to get it. I'm wondering if it could be
a problem with my mountpont. I did a 'mkdir /mnt/name' while logged in as
root, but never did a chown or chgrp. . Right now root is the owner and
system is the group and rights are set at 755. Do I need to change any of
these to make it work?

I think you need to use the wrkgrp parameter as part of the options.


mount -v cifs -n 198.0.0.137/username/password -o
uid=175,gid=219,wrkgrp=domainname /sharename /localmountpoint
