After further experimentation This works as root (no passwd prompt, no errors of any sort) mount -t smbfs -o guest //name/Collins /mnt/smb-collins But it does not work from normal user relying on fstab entry //name/Collins /mnt/smb-collins smbfs \ noauto,user,guest 0 0 I get mount //name/Collins cannot mount on /mnt/smb-collins: Operation not permitted smbmnt failed: 1 Any ideas? -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
