I don't know what's in your credentials file, or whether it can be done there, but the usual way to assign ownership to someone with a Samba mount it to include uid and gid values in the fstab options. e.g. //server/share /mountpoint cifs uid=tim,gid=tim,rw And so on... -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
