[KPhotoAlbum] KPA across network

[Neil Paisnel]

OK thanks, but at what position in the string would I insert 
"-o uid=neil"

sudo mount -t smbfs //Su/My\ Pictures\ on\ Su /home/pics

I have tried it, but so far no joy, maybe I am putting it in the wrong place
in the string.

As for the fmask and dmask, I think that is the first bit of the -rwx------
ownership permissions line, but I would not know how to adjust it to change
the setting.  I have only been using linux for about 2 weeks now.

Hi Neil,

That's most likely because you are creating the mount as root and your
normal user hasn't got enough permissions to write in this folder.
Try adding "-o uid=neil" to the mount command so all the files will be
owned by the user neil instead of root. You can also fiddle with the
fmask and dmask parameters.

Best regards,
