Re: Mounting SMBFS from fstab
She was part of a user made group(that already had permission to every other external mount I might add) and for some reason _unknown-to-me_ it wouldn't use it for the samba mounts so I just added her to the users group and added it to the samba share as well. Then it worked. Her user mounts the external drives and everythign just fine though. Confusing to me. -- Jacob Langley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG id:26BD3340 GPG fingerprint:2D27 4B63 A5A2 0BDB 260F 1410 D689 3116 26BD 3340 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: Mounting SMBFS from fstab
Finally got it figured out. Not sure why, but fstab was being a pain about the group name for mounting it. Changed her to a different user group and it worked fine. No idea why.

Jacob, I am still a newbie at Linux in many ways, so take that into consideration when I comment: I use LinNeighborhood to connect my Linux workstations to my Linux server. I am the only Linux user in my network, so for now, it works adequately to manually mount my shares by opening the program and letting it automatically mount through my saved settings. What I found out was peculiar to Red Hat 8.0 was that I had to set the permissions on 'smbmnt' to 04711 to get LinNeighorhood to mount my shares as user. On my Mandrake 9.0 workstation, this was not necessary. As soon as I did the 'chmod', I was able to mount as user. BTW, 'smbmnt' is located in 'usr/bin' on a RH 8 system. Does this help any?

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 -r1 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.

I forget, are you doing mount /mountpoint or the full mount command? also does the user have write access to the directory for mounting? I'm sure it can work, at my last job I had 1 machine that SMB mounted 2 dirs from a NT box which was mounted by a non root user. and it had the stuff in /etc/fstab, and we just did a mount /mountpoint and away it went .. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Already have. I run smb because it's not only nix machines accessing the file server. I know the fstab already is correct because it works mounting it with /path/to/mount as root.

Anyone know what > I have to do differently with RedHat? if both systems are linux, it is easier/more reliable to use NFS if your mounting a filesystem... if your wanting to mount as a non-root user, try putting the entry in /etc/fstab, and adding the options noauto,user among whatever other options you have. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Mounting SMBFS from fstab
I normally use Slackware but my gf uses linux. I want her to be able to mount the samba shares she has on my file server on her laptop easily.

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.
