I have a server in my house (print and file) that is driving me nuts with file 
access. Basically, its a shared drive and neither my wife or I can write to 
the drive as normal users, if I log in as root, I can write to the drive. 
Because it happens to both she and I, I think it has something to do with 
permissions or the fstab entry. But in the fairness of full disclosure, I 
have tired to provide all relavent info.

The drive is a secondary drive mounted in the server and is accessable as 
/mnt/share to both clients the fstab line covering the mounting is:

/dev/hdb3           /mnt/share              ext2    rw,user,exec,dev       0 0

She accesses it through Samba, and smb.conf is:

[global]
        path = /var/spool/samba
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        domain master = yes
        printing = cups
        dns proxy = no
        postscript = yes
        encrypt passwords = yes
        use password server option only with security = server
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        max log size = 50
        hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
        password level = 8
        printer = Epson
        passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n 
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
        username level = 8
        security = user
        unix password sync = Yes
        local master = yes
        workgroup = SOUTH_PARK
        netbios name = cartman
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        guest account = guest
        load printers = yes
        os level = 33
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
[share]
   comment = Tunes and Other Stuff
    path = /mnt/share
    read only = no
    writable = yes
    public = yes
    browsable = yes

I access it through NFS and exports contains:
/mnt/share      *(rw,no_root_squash)

Permissions on the directories below /mnt/share are group=users and mode 777.

do you guys have any idea why as normal users we cannot read and write to this 
drive?

'Requires Windows 95 or better'. So I installed Linux and lived happily ever 
after.
