[mythtv-users] Off Topic: Auto mount samba shares

[Joacim J]

I have some problems with the mounting (testing samba first)

The server have a share that looks like:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[movies]
        browseable = no
        read list = annelie,andrew,+annelie,+andrew
        path = /var/filez1/movies
        write list = joacim,+joacim
        force group = nobody
        force user = nobody
        comment = Movies
        inherit acls = Yes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then I tries to mount that on the client (as root):

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/movies /home/joacim/FRODO/Movies/ -o
username=joacim,password=mypassword,uid=nobody,gid=nobody,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

The mount works but the permissions are not what I want. I want it to be
forced to "nobody" and the mounted directory/files switches into "nobody"
and I can not write to the files or create new ones. Mounting in WinXP using
"joacim" and "mypassword" works just fine and the files are "chown" to
"nobody"

Have I missed any configuration option or .... ???

Best Regards
Joacim
