How does one mount a Win2k share as read and write? I can only mount it as a readable volume.
this is the command I run, and the system is a red hat 7.3 system:
[netwiz@redhat netwiz]$ su root

[root@redhat netwiz]# mount -t smbfs //server/mp3 mp3

[root@redhat netwiz]# ls -l

As you can see in the permissions, it is only mounted read and execute. Even trying to change the permissions of the mount point has no effect. Please help.
well it was only an example.... make sure your mount point does exist... oh yeah and i did miss out the smbfs bit which goes after the mountpoint and before the options, as in all teh other lines in there.
