Comment 6 for bug 210741

The same problem. I have a smb share on server which is public and writeable, and with fstab like this:
//server/pub /media/pub smbfs guest,uid=1000,rw,iocharest=utf8,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0777 0 0
only root can write to /media/pub (even though 1000 is uid of "normal" user). Files and dirs permissions seem to be ok.

Moreover Hardy can't umount share properly while shutting down and hangs before power is off. I have to umount shares manually before shutdown.

That's not the only problem with HH for me -- if you don't have to upgrade: DO NOT!
