Bug#574269: Smb4K 0.10.7

2010-04-07 Thread Alexander Reinholdt
Hello!

I just released Smb4K 0.10.7 that fixes a compatibility issue in smb4k_umount. 
Please consider packaging that one rather than version 0.10.6.

Best regards
Alexander

Bug#574269: Smb4K 0.10.6 released

2010-03-24 Thread Alexander Reinholdt
Hello!

I just released Smb4K 0.10.6 that fixes the issue described in this bug 
report. Since cifs-utils 4.1 was uploaded to unstable today, Smb4K should work 
as expected.

Please note that you now need to enable the use of super user privileges in 
the configuration dialog to be able to mount shares.

Best regards
Alexander

Bug#574269: Fixes applied upstream

2010-03-18 Thread Alexander Reinholdt
Hello!

I applied some fixes to Smb4K 0.10 so that it is again possible to mount shares 
with it. However, the user now needs to be added to /etc/sudoers (via the 
Smb4K configuration dialog) to make it work. I hope, I'll be able to release 
Smb4K 0.10.6 this weekend the latest.

Please note that with the current version of mount.cifs available in Debian 
the mount process of Smb4K will inevitably crash due to bug #574128. Until 
that one is not fixed in the package, you won't be able to mount shares.

Best regards
Alexander

Bug#574269: smb4k serious issue wrt cifs

2010-03-17 Thread Alexander Reinholdt
Hello Fathi,

thank you for bringing this to my attention. I need some time to investigate 
this issue, check what options are available and modify the code accordingly.

A quick check showed that using sudo and mount.cifs  umount would work (you 
need no entry in /etc/fstab in this case), but this is not really a solution 
for users who cannot gain super user privileges to change /etc/sudoers.

fusesmb seems to need a lot of configuration (I haven't used it until now). 
Maybe this is the way to go, but I'm a bit reluctant to implement support for 
it...

Best regards
Alexander

 Hi Alexander,
 
 The following bug has been reported:
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574269
 
 The related changes was done on cifs-utils:
 cifs-utils (2:4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
 
   * As of this version, the mount.cifs binary is no longer setuid due to
 upstream concerns about the audit status of this code.  As a
  consequence, users will no longer be able to run mount.cifs directly to
  mount shares unless mount points have been individually configured in
  /etc/fstab with the user mount option.
 
 Sites that require their users to retain the ability to mount arbitrary
 CIFS shares without system-level configuration may want to consider
  using the fusesmb package instead.

 It seems smb4k should migrate to fusesmb or maybe you have a better
  proposal ?
 
 Cheers,
 
 Fathi
