Hi Guys,
I'm using SUSE 9.1 personal.
On my system I have four windows shares
(Our Windows File server)
I could only mount the shares under root, since my everyday user is unable to mount file systems...
Now then the Linux File System associates those shares with Root.
I need to change those shares permissions so that I can access, readwrite etc with my everyday user.
Can someone help me out? I'm assuming Chmod or Chown is involved but I do not really understand how they function.
Thank you.
 
What filesystem (FAT or NTFS) do you use on Windows shares ?
If the right access on windows shares is for everyone.
I don't think you have a permission and right access problem.

 
the windows shares are ntfs.
also is there something I can apply in fstab to allow rwX privledges to persons other than root,for my windows shares?
