Yesterday I purchased a 250 GB Buffalo NAS LinkStation. It works fine from my Ubuntu box, but from my wife's Mandriva box, I can't get it to be writable by a normal user, only by root. The SMB mount shows up as read only, even though I'm not specifying the read only parameter. The share is owned by root, with a group of root. The Buffalo gives me a limited selection as to what I can specify. It has a built in web server that allows the setup to occur. Here you can create shared folders, and specify if they are Read Only or Writable, and this folder is set to writable, and there are no access restrictions. I figure since my Ubuntu box is working correctly with it, it must be something I'm doing at the mount on the Mandriva box. Any thoughts on what I might have set wrong?
Thanks, Jim
