Re: Permissions issue on share

Yes, it does appear that samba on mac os x is not taking any configuration options. I tried different options for the mount_smbfs command which does have very specific user/owner/group related permissions options - but all give me the same "operation not supported" error. Let me take a closer look at Samba and also the list you linked to. Thanks again - appreciate your help!
