This may be sorta off topic considering this is probably regarding the
linux kernel but I am hoping someone here will have the answer anyway.
I am having the strangest problem when mounting a samba share with "-t
cifs" as opposed to "-t smbfs" where, instead of mounting as the
user I am
logged in as, it is mounted as if I were logged on as a completely
different user.
For example:
============================================================
me@workstation ~ $ mount
/dev/sda2 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
me@workstation ~ $ ls -l /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 2 me users 48 Jan 27 06:48 samba
me@workstation ~ $ mount /mnt/samba
Password:
me@workstation ~ $ ls -l /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 27 notme users 0 Feb 22 08:46 samba
me@workstation ~ $ su -
Password:
workstation ~ # umount /mnt/samba
workstation ~ # mount /mnt/samba
Password:
luthic ~ # ls -l /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 27 notme users 0 Feb 22 08:46 samba
============================================================
my fstab reads as such
//server/share /mnt/samba cifs user,noauto,username=user 0 0
If I remove the offending user account (ie. "notme") and remount the
share, I get the UID instead of the username
example:
drwxr-xr-x 27 1002 users 0 Feb 22 08:46 samba
This is my first time using cifs, due to problems, I was going to move off
of smbfs.
Has anyone had any experiences like mine? It doesn't seam to make any
sense?
