And now that smbmount is gone (why?) how do I mount a partition with rw permissions for the world? Or at least for myself. I can only mount it (as root), with read only permissions.
I dealt with something like this a while back.On the local machine, mount the share as type cifs, not smbfs. I also found I had to add "unix extensions = no" in the [global] section of the server's smb.conf -- it was a good thing I also administer that server.
If I recall, those were the only two changes which needed to be made when I started using -t cifs.
