Write access to FAT32 over SMB


I am using SMB to access the FAT32 hard drive on an old Windows 98 machine over my home LAN. I can succesfully view all files on the shared drive but I can't write anything, despite attempting to configure r/w access.

The relevant line from my /etc/fstab is as follows:
//frontroom/C /media/frontroom smbfs user,rw,auto,password=xxxx 0 0

The drive in question is shared at root on the Windows 98 machine, and write access is configured with a password.

Any help much appreciated!

try setting dmask value in the fstab options, e.g., dmask=0777, 0770, etc.
