Re: Light Linux Permissions help for constantly running processes and Samba Share access

Hi David,

if you have a share set up on another machine, then from your linux box 
you would do the following...

First create a folder called...
/foldersomewhere/Share

Then put into fstab (probably /etc/fstab)
//IPaddress/Share /foldersomewhere/Share cifs 
guest,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 
0 0

the su root
mount -a
possibly do mount -a several times to make sure you get the share or 
just reboot.

If cannot edit fstab, go into terminal and chmod 777 fstab.
Then edit and save.
then chmod 644 fstab.

These permissions may not be the tightest but at least using the above, 
you may get things to work. Then from there you can tighten it up a bit.
Hope that helps.
Ben
