Re: [Nolug] fstabify

I would remove the fmask and dmask entirely. Then let samba handle the
shares/permissions.
I have one like this:

/dev/sdd1 /media/samba ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2

Then my folder share part of my smb.conf looks like:

[samba]
        comment = samba
        inherit acls = Yes
        path = /media/samba
        browseable = Yes
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes

This allows any one to connect and read/write. You'd have to change
this to your needs.
