[vox] Mounting a Shared Win2k Drive for Students--no write access?

[Steve Hargadon]

Still crazy over this one.

Here is my command:

mount -t smbfs -o
rw,username=student,password=abc123,uid=210,gid=200,umask=002
//wind2ksrv/Students /S-Drive/

When I "ll" the directory I get 

drwxr-xr-x  1  aharrington  students  ...

So it seems like everything is working except the permissions.  And if
the root can get write permissions, I figure that has to mean that
there is nothing from the Windows side getting in the way here?

Any help greatly appreciated. 

Steve
