SMB Setup

[Jim Herrmann]

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
