From the mount.cifs(8) uid=arg sets the uid that will own all files on the mounted filesystem. It may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid. This parame‐ ter is ignored when the target server supports the CIFS Unix exten‐ sions. gid=arg sets the gid that will own all files on the mounted filesystem. It may be specified as either a groupname or a numeric gid. This param‐ eter is ignored when the target server supports the CIFS Unix exten‐ sions. 1. I am using the CIFS Unix Extensions. 2. I do not want only one user to own all files. I want the owner of the files to be the creator and not the mounter. florin -- Bruce Schneier expects the Spanish Inquisition. http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/fact/163 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
