Is there any way to cause the mount not to prompt for a passwd?
Hint, I have no defined users and do not log in to the WinXP
box.
If you put the appropriate line in /etc/fstab with password=,user=
then you can just do 'mount /mnt/samba'. (Or it may have to be
user=guest).
Thanks. It works with user=guest.
OK, now to dig a little deeper. The set of directories (it varies)
that I'm wanting to access "appear" to have no common high level
directory(they are anchored on the WinXP desktop), so I need to do a
separate mount for each. Short of putting a big list in fstab, is
there any way to get a given directory mounted for general use upon
demand, either by command or by root command and make the permissions
such that normal users can manipulate it?
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?
Don't you need a username=guest line in there somewhere?
Check 'man smbmount'
HTH,
Tim
