Fedora Core 2 smbfs

[Martin Duclos]

Hi All,
I have been looking for an answer to this question... I just upgraded my 
system to fedora core 2. I have noticed that smbfs isn't the way to mount 
smb shares anymore. From what I can tell, this new protocol CIFS is taking 
over. The problem here is that the parameter UID is ignored now so I can't 
mount the share as a user on the local machine. Instead, the UID is set the 
username (well, it's ID) of the owner of the share on the remote host. How 
can I get aroud this problem? I want to be able to mount the share either by 
allowing mount to be run by anyone (not a good idea i've been told) or have 
some alternative way to specify the uid of the share. Any ideas?

Thanks
Martin
