MOUNTING SMB SHARES IN LINUX WITH WRITE ACCESS FOR APACHE

Samba is cool and all, but I needed it to mount a share to which the web server could write. This requires that you mount the share masquerading as the web user, comme ca:

smbmount //server/share /path/to/mount/point -o uid=apache

Took me an embarassingly long time to realize you need to preface your options with ‘-o’.
