I have a similar problem which is that after I mounted the share on the
windows machine I can read and copy files but not create or change
anything. I use :
#mount -t smbfs <share name> <local directory> -o
username=<user>,workgroup=<windows domain name>
It mounts fine but, as I said, no write/change rigths.
