changing permission on samba mounted shared folder

804738Jun 21 2011 — edited Jul 19 2011
hello sir

I mounted a folder from windowsxp into linux system using mount -t cifs -o username=administrator,password=password //ipaddress/shared folder name /target local folder

the problem is when i assign permission as chmod 755 to target folder, the permission does not take effect.It defaults to 777. Also I face same problem while changing user and group ownership of that folder.when assigning ownership to some other user and group, it does not take effect and defaults to root.Kindly help me to find solution to this problem

Regards
