I have a question, I have files on my winblows box that I need to edit
under linux, since editing them under winblows would be very very
painfull. I am using the following mount command as root

mount -t smbfs -o username=mpop,password=xxxxxx,uid=mpop,gid=mpop,rw
//192.168.110.4/casos /home/mpop/WindowsBox

I have set the casos file to be shared and checked the box that says
"Allow network users to change my files" and made sure that all the
files and subdirs are rw on the windows box.  Every time I mount the
share accross the network winblows chages the promitions on all the
files to read only so I can not edit them. and every time I change them
back winblows will change them to read only on me, how do I stop
winblows from fscking with me so I can edit the files.
