I mount it on /mnt/box48 and the problem seems to be permissions:
I've found that mount sometimes insists on mounting partitions ro, even if you specify r/w. The only thing I've ever found that always works (for me) is the mount option umask=0000.
. Ok, I'm not familiar with that command, not sure what it does, wants to be run as root, but it does work to mount what I see in the terminal. Should I put it in fstab?
Yes. Put it in fstab instead of defaults.
I use this for the options in fstab:
credentials=/root/.smbcred,defaults,uid=my-username,gid=my-username,auto,users,exec,vers=3.0
the credentials= points to a file with read-only permissions, owned by root. it contains
username=xxx password=yyy
vers=3.0 restricts it to version 3.0 of the SMB protocol. If your file share supports that version it's a good idea to restrict it on both the server and the clients, since earlier versions of SMB are rife with holes.
for the uid= and gid= items you can also user the numerical value, from /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
I find this works fine with my NAS box, which I talk to via SMB.
