Any hints/clues would be entirely appreciative thank > you.. =) Permissions on CIFS are confusing stuff... CIFS doesn't manage multiple credentials per mount. In this case, you're mounting the share with "user=root". So even though on the local machine you're "lhorace" and the dir is owned by "lhorace" on the server, the call goes out over the wire as "root" (which is probably being mapped to an unprivileged user). You probably want to redo the mount with user=lhorace, but be forewarned that all the activity will be done as "lhorace" no matter what user on the client is doing this activity. -- Jeff Layton <[email protected]>
