Cannot write to Samba share.


Hi how do I mount a samba share and give it ful read write and execute permission in fstab?

I have a home NAS (network attached storage) router with two drives attached to it.

The NAS router is part of a workgroup called MYHOME (for example). It in turn connects to my laptop via a wireless access point (or AP).

The NAS doesn't require a password - as it is part of my workgroup - and the security for this (password WEP encryption and so on) is handled by my AP).

So I tried doing the following:

FSTAB:

Code:
//192.168.1.77/MYSHARE1	/mnt/Archos	smbfs	0 0
//192.168.1.77/MYSHARE2 /mnt/storage	smbfs	0 0
And this worked - but I cannot write to or execute anything from these shares. Again, specifically, I want to make sure I have full read, write and execute permissions on all shares.

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Most guides I have read talk about setting the group password and UID, however I have never previously needed to do this, as I said the shares do not require a password and whenever I wanted to access a share in the past I just typed into conqueror:

Code:
smb://192.168.1.77/MYSHARE
So what exactly must I do to ensure full read write and execute permissions on these shares?

Are there logs on the NAS that you can check?

What's the output of 'mount' in regards to the shares? You might have to specify rw in fstab.
