Subject: [Hampshire] NAS permissions
Hi all



Happy New Year - my first post for a while.



I'm having a bit of trouble setting permissions properly to mount a NAS
device as read write for a given user. It's a brand new QNAP TS-412 and
seems to be a little Linux box with a nice graphical UI. Surprise,
surprise, connect via Windows and I can move, read and write with no user or
permssions problems.



If I then do:



sudo mount -t smbfs //sharename /mnt/abcd -o user=fred



then I can get read access to the mount point - but neither



sudo uname -a > test

or

uname -a > test



in /mnt/abcd produce anything other than permission denied.



I've never been too hot on umask and permissions but a quick ls -l /mnt
gives:



drwxr-xr-x  1 root root    0 Dec 22 14:51 abcd




and even



chmod a+w /mnt/abcd doesn't make a difference. It must be something easy -
because if I connect to it via gnome "Connect to Server" - no worries - full
rw access.



Can anyone help please? - this is driving me nuts.



Cheers

Rob
