WRT the problem that NT/sp3 has with mapping samba shares to Linux boxes
-- Ramon Gonzales just sent me a post from this list describing how to
fix the NT registry to send plaintext passwords, so that the NT box
could mount a Linux share.
But that isn't precisely what I need to do; I need to be able to mount
the NT drive _on_ the Linux machine's filesystem so that I can perform
operations on it from there. As it is now I can map the drive, but I
can only access it as the superuser. The various smbmount options
aren't changing the file permissions on the mounted resource, and chmod
just laughs at me.
Will the NT registry fix apply to that problem, or do I need to look
elsewhere?
This seems like a problem on the Linux side; all the other machines in
our office (NT, 95) can use this resource, and the Linux boxes can when
the user is root, so it seems like I should be able to use the drive
when I'm a regular user on the Linux box as well, but some switch
somewhere won't let me. In other words, this behavior suggests to me
that it's samba's permissions, and not the NT's, that I need to be
worrying about.
