[SOLVED] linux-to-linux samba write guidance needed!

hi,

i want to be able to write to a shared samba directory on my netbook, from my laptop. 
here is the netbook smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = f3ar
netbios name = f3ar-asus
server string = %h server
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
security = share
[asus-shared]
path = /vol/shared
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1.99
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

heres the fstab on the laptop

//192.168.1.98/asus-shared    /mnt/asus    cifs    rw,user,noauto    0 0

is there anything i am missing, because i get a permission error everytime i try to write (from laptop) to /mnt/asus

bash: /mnt/asus/file: Permission denied

Re: [SOLVED] linux-to-linux samba write guidance needed!

you may have to pass the credentials to have rw access to the samba share.
//192.168.1.98/asus-shared /mnt/asus cifs username=user,password=pass.

more secure way for eg
mkdir /path/dir
chmod 0700 /path/dir
chown root /path/dir
//share/dir /mt/myshare cifs credentials=/path/dir/fileshare

cat /path/dir/fileshare
username=yourusername
password=youpass

If both the pc's are linux then nfs is easier way.

Re: [SOLVED] linux-to-linux samba write guidance needed!

okay, so i ditched samba and went to nfs.

i followed the wiki guide and when i try to mount a folder from my netbook, on my laptop, i get...
mount.nfs: mount system call failed

i can post whatever files are necessary

[SOLVED]

the when mounting with nfsv4 i need to mount '/' or root because it reads whatever is specified in the config '/home/f3ar007' as root /.
