samba mount permissions / ownership

[Statia]

Hi,

I mount a samba share at boot with this in fstab:

//fritz.box/WD-10EADSExternal-01 /mnt/samba  cifs  guest,_netdev  0 0

It works, I can read from the disk, I can write to the disk, but every write ends with "can't change permissions on foo.bar". Turns out all the files are owned by root, and of course I am working as user.
I know I could add my UID and GID to fstab, but there are more users on this machine.
I don't know if it is possible to add multiple UID's to fstab?
I tried adding "user" to fstab, but that did not work, IIRC, that only means every user can mount and unmount the share.
Is there an other solution?
I could make a script in rc.local for every user that mounts the drive with their UID and GID, but I think there should be an easier option.

Tried so far:

# chmod 766 /mnt/samba/

(with drive unmounted)

Added "noperm" as an option in fstab

Added gid=121 to fstab, no UID.

(In /etc/group: sambashare:121:statia,user2)

Time for the I'm-in-the-wrong-timezone BUMP.

Try this timezone BUMP?

The 'noperm' which you added might not be sufficient. The man page itself says

Note that this does not affect the normal ACL check on the target
machine done by the server software (of the server ACL against the
user name provided at mount time).

I am not sure if this will work but you may try the 'force user' option on the Samba server for that share
This should switch whatever user connects to switch to the permission of the 'force user' and might do the trickTHe

I can't really change things on the server side. I forgot to mention in this post (it is mentioned in my other post in this subforum, which could use some input, hint, hint, nudge nudge wink wink), the server is a Fritz!Box 7360 wireless router.
It runs something called FritzOS, which may or may not be Linux (-derived), but I don't have shell access on this box, and very limited options for configuration of its NAS functions.

What happens if you open up the share in Nautilus?
For instance enter this address (Ctrl-L)

smb://fritz.box/WD-10EADSExternal-01

Can you read/write using some user credentials (as should be supplied with you NAS) or guest?
If so, it would be possible to automate the mounting of shares at the user level using a variation of this technique with an app called Gigolo. No need for fstab entries.

Cheers!

Nope, doesn't work:

Could not display "smb://fritz.box/wd-10eadsexternal-01%20/".
Error: Failed to mount Windows share
Please select another viewer and try again.

You have a trailing space there (%20). Make sure the address has not space at the end. You can end it with a slash to make sure.

Yep, that gets me there. But if I use nautilus to copy a regular file from my ~, it still ends up on the share with ownership by root.
