[olug] Samba And XP Pro

[Steven Busby]

Joe,

Ensure your /etc/fstab or your manual mount command are mounting these drives with "joe" as the owner.

As the only day-to-day Linux user in my group, I've had to ensure my /etc/fstab loads all the network shares, //server/c$, etc., with my userid/groupid as the owner and 
group.
