I have a public file system which needs you to login in order to create files (I believe it's smb or Samba). I mounted it and added this line to /etc/fstab (modified a bit to hide important info):
//filesystem.url/Public /mnt/Public cifs uid=1000,guid=1000,rw,credentials=/etc/userInfo 0 0
In the userInfo file I have the login information.
However, when I go to /mnt/Public and try to create a folder I get permission issues which leads me to think that the credentials file may not be set up correctly because I know the account does have permissions.
Did I do something wrong in my set up of the credentials file?
According to 'mount' command I do have read write permissions but it's not actually letting me create and save files.
Output of testparm command:
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Loaded services file OK.

Please try withnopermon the mount line. If that works I'll give you an answer explaining why.
