How to define default file mask for network mounts?

Hi all,


on many Unix-like systems, the "mount" commands for several network filesystems, like NFS, SMB, AFP etc. provide mount options to map remote user ids or group ids to local ones while mounting (gid=...,uid=...), and/or to set a file mask that the imported filesystem will have as default.

On Mac OS X, I haven't found something like that yet. Everything that gets mounted by "root", e.g. via "sudo mount ...." ends up having root:wheel as owner and group on the local system, and having permissions 700, essentially preventing any other users to access the mount point. The same happens if something is mounted by a different user, e.g. in Finder.


Is there a way in Mac OS X to work around this, so that I can mount a SMB network share as root and then everyone can access it?


Thanks!

Mirko
