I have my KM box with the standard KM samba sharing /myth read/write.

I have a Debian/Lenny box and use the following script to mount my /myth on demand:



The .smbcredsmyth simply contains:


It does a great job mounting. What's odd is when I attempt to copy files to it, I get permission denied. That said, I am able to copy the files through Gnome just fine (smb://mythtv/myth). Can someone venture a guess what I'm doing wrong?

Here is the output of mount:

I learned the hard way that I want to use the smbmount command rather than mount. Here's my /etc/fstab line on my mythbox:
//SCOOBYDOO/data /mnt/SCOOBYDOO/data smbfs lfs,username=mythtv,password=mythtv,uid=mythtv,gid=mythtv 0 0

Obviously, your way of having the credentials in a separate file is much safer.
"lfs" is a good option for large files and I suppose the uid and gid stuff may be what you're after?

Cheers,

Ahh... the solution is to add uid and gui fields to my user on the "workstation" box to the mount commend:



Now I am able to read/write to the share through the filesystem just fine. The key here is that my user on the workstation is NOT 'mythtv' and somehow, when omitting the uid/gid lines, the LINUX permission are getting applied when mounted this way.
