Changing Permission of Mounted NTFS filesystem on Windowsnt from Linux

[naveenrt]

Hello

Environment -
Main Logon Server - Linux Redhat 7.2
Web Server - Apache 1.3.22
Server Script - PHP 4.1.1
Database - Sybase ASE
File Server - NT File Server

NT File Server and Linux are on the same workgroup.

I am mounting the NTFS file system of WindowsNT using samba and the same is accessible/Seen from Linux

From the Web Interface i need to change the ownership of files which are located in the NTFS Files system of WindowsNT Server ( The NTFS File system is mounted on Linux)

I see that as Root is the owner of the mounted filesystem i am not able to change the permission of the files on NT as other user

But my Project requirement is that i need to do this with a User

Is there any solution for the same

Please advise

Thanks and Regards

What I knew samba only can support "Read only" for NTFS.
Please check again.Maybe I was wrong.

When your mounting a Windows share, the remote filesystem has nothing to do with it. Your mounting an smbfs filesystem, not an NTFS or FAT filesystem. NTFS and FAT only come into play when they are local to your machine, such as in a Linux/Windows dual-boot. ady2k, yes, Linux only supports mounting NTFS filesystems as read-only when they are local to the machine. Write support is still experimental and will destroy the filesytem, if enabled.

naveenrt, you want to change the permissions on the mounted Windows share as a regular user (not root)? Is that what your asking?
