How do you specify the user that will own the files? Seems like no matter what I do root owns them. (From Craig's response) I tried specifying 'user' and my own username like this(see after rw): tweety -fstype=smbfs,rw,user,username=jpifer,password=pass ://192.168.1.20/tweetyroot OR tweety -fstype=smbfs,rw,myuser,username=myuser,password=pass ://192.168.1.20/tweetyroot I'll have to play around with other file systems, like NFS, and see what I get. Thanks, James
