I've got a slightly different setup that works. First off, I am
connecting to a box running samba - not a windows machine - though that
shouldn't matter(provided your windows box is indeed allowing shares).
The box "obj" has a user named "dallas" as well. I've tried it sending
the username= and it works as well.
My fstab looks like this:
//obj/dallas /home/dallas/obj-home smbfs noauto,owner,user
0 0
I have a entry in /etc/hosts for "obj".
The box I mount the drive on is a default rh 7.2, except I chmod +s
smbmount.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 418876 Aug 13 2001
/usr/bin/smbmount
Mount works fine:
[dallas@dhcp159 dallas]$ mount /home/dallas/obj-home
Password:
[dallas@dhcp159 dallas]$
[dallas@dhcp159 dallas]$ df

The shared directory mounted rw, and user "dallas" can modify/delete/add
any file.
