[Gllug] FW: Windows share using SMB doesn't write

[Simon Morris]

-----BEGIN QUOTE-----
As it goes, the guide I used said to point to a credentials file, so my
fstab entry looks something like this

//host/documents  /mnt/docs  smbfs  credentials=/etc/samba/crw,uid=toby

and in the crw file;

username=toby
password=

No password as my windows machine doesn't have one for toby.
-----END QUOTE-----

Now that's interesting. I remember smbclient didn't like null passwords a
while back...

If you hadn't successfully connected as root I would've recommended using a
password.

Of course a password would be a good idea in any case ;-)
