RE: permsissions on mounted nfs drive from windows system
The file system is NTFS, which I am prepared to change if necessary, and the
permissions are set for anyone to read/write. And think you for pointing out
the the erroneous NFS name...I am trying to cram a lot of information in a
hurry...

When mounting remote filesystem, being local root does not mean
anything. If being root on a local system gives the root rights on the
remote one, think about the security hole it would be, because anyone
may be root on his own machine...
Now, what about user accounts on the Windows box.
Is the used windows user allowed to perform ownership & permissions
changes on the Windows system? What filesystem (FAT or NTFS) are you
trying to set the permission & ownership on?
Nota Bene: You're not using NFS on this case, your using smbfs, so that
the subject you put is a bit wrong.
