I have a samba share mounted locally as /mnt/sharefolder, but I'm a bit confused about the permissions.
I created the folder as root and mounted the share. I could read as a normal user, but couldn't write. So I ran "chmod 777 /mnt/share" and I can make new folders and modify files, but I can't rename or create symlinks. It's almost like I don't actually have full read/write of this folder.
Should I change the owner of the folder? If so, to which owner/group?
Should I change the folder and it's child folder's permissions?
Or did I do something wrong with the share mount command?

Code:
sudo mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.1.100/syncdrive /mnt/sharefolder
