I vaguely remember reading about a similar problem. Won't smbmount (by default)
only run for uid=root? Another thing to check is your smb.conf ... You can
explicitely state which users have 'root' privelages on the share with the
<br>
<br>
admin users = user1, user2, user3 <br>
<br>
directive.<br>
<br>
I think I solved this problem and forgot the solution because mine just works...
;( Sorry. <br>

<pre wrap="">I've partly figured out how to mount it as root and give the user
permissions to write.
smbmount //nt_le/ericp$ /directory -o credentials=file,uid=epenne
I added the uid=epenne before but there was a space instead of a comma
and smbmount just ignored the uid flag.
I still am not allowed to mount the drive without having root
privileges. Can anybody help?

I've added:

when I try to mount it asks for a password which it takes the
username
from my login of epenne when I want it to login as ericp.
where can I pass the credentials file to the mount command?
I've manually mounted this drive from root using the credentials
file.
The permissions on the drive were for root and user ericp couldn't
write anything to the directories on the mounted drive.
What options do I have to pass the username and password to smbmount
through /etc/fstab?
