Hi all, I'm having the following situation here: There is a windowsNT network available. I can connect to the network. However, only 'root' can write to the NT-disk. So, I have to connect as 'another user':
smbmount //labmetserver/common /mnt/labmet/common -o credentials=/home/kurt/.smbmountcred,uid=kurt In this way, I connect to the server, with 'kurt' as the user, so 'kurt' can write to the NT-disk. So all this works, what's my problem? That it only works if I am root. I would like all users to be able to connect to the server and read and write. I thinking of something like, if someone logs in on linux, the connection is made automatically. Can I put something like: smbmount //labmetserver/common /mnt/labmet/common -o credentials=$HOME/.smbmountcred,uid=$USER in some script (which runs with 'root'-permissions). Or even better, if '$HOME/.smbmountcred exists, it should use it, otherwhise, it should use a general 'smbmountcred'-file (somewhere in /etc/smbmount)? I'm using Debian sarge, linux-kernel 2.4.20, smbmount version 2.2.3a-14. Untill now, I did put it in fstab, but in that case, I logged in onto the windowsNT-server as root, so no user had any write permission. tnx, Kurt. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
