I have mounted a win2k share with : mount -t smbfs -o username=bla,password=blab //server/share /mnt/point
it mounts fine and dandy but i cannot get write permissions. I have checked the permisions for the username and root accounts on that share and they do have full control. I have also chmod the mount point but still cnnot create a dir in the share.

HELP!!!
TY CD :confused:

Well first off it's not safe to write to a NTFS partition from Linux, but if you want to make sure you have in compiled into the kernel. Look under [File Systems] after you do a make xconfig or make menuconfig.

twofoolish2b is right, but your mounting a share, not a local partition.

make sure you have proper permissions on your w2k machine and you MUST be using samba 2.2 or it might not work properly.

there isnt a whole lot you can do on your Linux box to prevent writing to that share.
