Can't mount share on my linux boxes as a regular user. I have no trouble mounting shares as root. This problem occurs on both my linux boxes. All the commands I show I have run as a regular user. Here is all the data I have: smbmount \\\\JHAMMER6\\public /mnt/NetWork/JHAMMER6/public/ -o debug=6 mount.smbfs started (version 2.0.7) Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf" Processing section "[global]" doing parameter netbios name = HAMMER2 handle_netbios_name: set global_myname to: HAMMER2 doing parameter interfaces = 192.168.0.2 doing parameter security = SHARE doing parameter log level = 1 Password: cannot mount on /mnt/NetWork/JHAMMER6/public: Operation not permitted smbmnt failed: 1 mount.smbfs: ioctl failed, res=-1 Could not umount /mnt/NetWork/JHAMMER6/public: Operation not permitted strings `which smbmount` | grep smbmnt smbmnt <----removed the old smbmnt from /usr/bin /usr/local/samba/bin/smbmnt <----Using the right smbmnt I think. execvp of smbmnt failed.

I have chmod 777 the path to the mount point. I am stumped. Do I have to have anything in fstab for a regular user to mount files? Any insight appreciated. Joel

A user is only allowed to mount on a dir he owns and has write permissions on. /Urban
