SMB

On Mac OS X Snow Leopard I'm trying to give the apache2 user _www full rights to a mounted hidden windows server share.

I've used Connect to Server with smb://servername/share$ and saved the username/password in the keychain. The domain username used for the mount got full rights to the share on the windows server.

It all works this far. I can browse and edit the files in the share from the Mac.

However I can't find a way to give the apache2 user _www rights to write to the mounted share. I have a perl script that is supposed to create a file in the mounted folder but only get permission denied.

I've tried all kinds of chmod and chown but it doesn't change the permissions of the share.

Does anyone know how this can be done please?
