HI! I am using RH 6.0 and samba 2.0.3 and I have two questions: first I want to mount my smbfs as a normal user and second, I would like to pass parameters with "-c" but without having to show my password. To mount as an user I included a line in /etc/fstab like: //XXXXXX/PABLO /mnt/xxxxxx smbfs rw,nosuid,noexec,dev,noauto,async,user 0 0 But when a user write: mount /mnt/xxxxxx samba does not ask for a password but said that it is required: ..... security=share SMBtconX failed. ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or password? Some servers insist that these be in uppercase When a user write: smbmount //xxxxxx/pablo, the client ask for the password and the mount point and then answer: smbmnt must be installed suid root mount failed After that I changed the mode of /usr/bin/smbmnt to -rwsr-xr-x, but when a user write: smbmount //xxxxxx/pablo, again the client ask for the password and the mount point and answer: cannot mount on /mnt/xxxxxx: Operation not permitted mount failed I even changed the mode of /mnt/xxxxxx to rwxrwxrwx and the same answer. For the second question I would like to have an script like this: /usr/bin/smbmount //$1/$2 -c "mount /mnt/$1 -u 1000 -g 1000" But it does not ask for the password and I do not want to give it in the command line for security, I know in the smbclient man pages said that "-c" suppresses the normal password prompt from the client to the user. But I still would like to write everything on one line but need to be asked for the password. I appreciate any help.
