I'm connecting to my DNS-323 through linux using the following line in /etc/fstab:

Code: [Select]

192.168.1.10/Volume_1 /mnt/NAS-01_v1  cifs    guest,rw,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777    0       0
I can write files, delete files, open files and even overwrite files, all without any issues. But if I open a file, say a simple text file, make changes and then attempt to save the file again, it says I don't have permission to do this. Am I missing something in my fstab?

Did you try the mount command I suggested in your other thread?

mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.z/[sharename] -o username=xxxx,password=yyyy /mnt/nas

Thanks for the follow-up dosborne. I did try this, sorry I missed it earlier. It mounts successfully, but I have the same issue. For example, mousepad in xubuntu gives me the error "Can't open file to write".

I should clarity, however, that I haven't setup any users on my DNS-323, and instead opted for the "All accounts" option. Should I try creating a user and assigning it specific permissions. My concern with this is that it will complicate access through Windows when I need to access it through that OS.

I've been running mine for months this way (with user accounts) and access via linux and Windows XP without any problems.
