http://forums.opensuse.org – I have my /etc/samba/fstab set to automatically mount a windows share on system boot. The only problems is that it is mounted with root as the owner and the permissions don't let anyone else make any changes. What do I need to do to make it mount so that I can actually have write permissions on the drive? (Distributions)

2.

I have a network drive that I am able to mount on bootup. But for some reason, I cannot write to it. Every attempt gives me permission denied.

Before it mounts, the directory has cditty.cditty ownership. Afterwards, it has cditty.root ownership. I've tried sudo changing the permissions or ownership only to get a permissions denied error again.
