[indiana-discuss] Two questions before I install OpenSolaris for "real"

So,
I mount the samba/cifs share, in this case a linux share from 
OpenSolaris using:

mount -f smbfs //[user at server/share /mnt/server/share
where I have read-write access to the /mnt/server/share directory
I get prompted for my share password and it mounts.
Unfortunately, it's mounted read-only, and the files are owned by root. 
  What gives?  Is there another option I need to use?

On Linux/OS X, it works like a charm....
