[OpenIndiana-discuss] CIFS and openindiana

[Roel_D]

If the directory already exists then do chown -R {username}:{groupname}  {directoryname}

If you try to retrieve the directory from windows you might give the username as {workgroupname}\{username}

If you have a pc that is part of a domain (like your office pc) then joining a CIFS on a local/private server can be a pain. 

Kind regards, 

The out-side
