anyone had this problem before? in my fstab i have this: //jaysdell/mp3 /mnt/jay smbfs user,rw,guest,uid=500 0 0
but at boot time it won't mount... even though all my nfs shares work just fine. so as a regular user, i tried this: (~) $ mount /mnt/jay/ INFO: Debug class all level = 2 (pid 3668 from pid 3668) added interface ip=192.168.1.107 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 cannot mount on /mnt/jay: Operation not permitted smbmnt failed: 1 odd... so i tried this: (~) $ mount -t smbfs //jaysdell/mp3 /mnt/jay/ mount: only root can do that so i just su'd to root and did this: (~) # mount /mnt/jay/ INFO: Debug class all level = 2 (pid 3771 from pid 3771) added interface ip=192.168.1.107 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 and "poof!" it works... so my question is: (a) why can't i mount the share as a regular user? and (b) if root can do it, why won't it do it at boot time? here's what it says in /var/log/samba/jaysdell.log: [2003/06/10 14:35:54, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545) Couldn't find user 'jay' in passdb.
