I'm an admitted neophyte when it comes to Windows networking and am trying to do more than perhaps possible in my environment.

I have a data source that I need to share "R/O" out to the greater population of desktops but my Filer is NOT bound to a DC. My "cifs access" on the share is "everyone read".

I *also* want to have local (users who have a local account on the filers "workgroup" user db) mount the same share R/W. But when they attempt to mount the share the "everyone" R/O permissions apply.

Is there a way to specify the R/W mount access writes in my case?

The desktops that are mounting the share are in a Novell NDS domain. :-(

Thanks in advance.
