We're making progress, BUT still have a glitch:
I can mount the files in the Windows PC box using:
mount -w -t smbfs -o password=secret //jan/jan /home/jan/JansPC
and just added an entry into /etc/fstab so I can simply do: mount/
/home/jan/JansPC.
/etc/fstab:
//jan/jan /home/jan/JansPC smbfs password=secret,user 0 2
Cool, huh? Here's the glitch;
smbmount will only run from root, so every Directory on the mounted file
system has owner and permissions set to:
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 Feb 16 05:45 WOW
I need to have permissions set to drwxrwxrwx, or owner set to jan:. As it
is right now the only way I can write to //jan is if I run the local
programs from root.
Is there any way to change owner or permissions on the mounted file
system so I can write to them from a user account?
