I am running 5.3r11 and I am having difficulty with mount_smbfs. Basically I have a permissions problem that I cannot track down. The remote filesystem mounts correctly, and as root I can view and write to it correctly. The permissions to the base directory were originally 700, and sued to the owner of the base I cannot stat the directory. I have tried changing the owner to another user, but had the same effect. After trying a few things I set the permissions to 750, and I could view and stat the directory. So I think it is some kind of UID bit not getting set correctly. The GID seems to set correctly, and for the moment is being used for a work around. I have mounted this filesystem on a FreeBSD 4.10(almost identical kernel) with no problem using the 700 permission settings. So I'm fairly certain its not the remote server, but just in case, the remote is a win2k pro machine. Thank you. -Brian Bailey
