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
