Shouldn't smbmnt be suid root on her laptop and not on your server? > I have the samba stuff installed on her laptop, and the > drive mounts fine if i do a mount /mnt/path as root but I can't do it as > her user. I went looking for smbmnt but I couldn't find it. Anyone > know what I have to do differently with RedHat? I think you want the package samba-client and not samba. This is what I put in my /etd/fstab/ on my laptop: //mymachine.uio.no/username /home/olsen/UiO smbfs \ defaults,uid=olsen,gid=olsen,credentials=/home/olsen/.smbmntrc 0 0 The file .smbmntrc contains the following in plain text: username=uio/username password=secretofcourse And ls -l .smbmntrc gives: ls -l .smbmntrc -r-------- 1 olsen olsen 39 Mar 16 21:40 .smbmntrc Then smbmnt don't have to be suid root, and the samba-share is mounted at every boot. Only root can unmount/mount the share. I don't know if this is better that setting smbmnt suid root. -- Øystein Olsen, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, http://www.astro.uio.no University of Oslo, Norway -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
