samba - Sep 2002 - user-mounts

Hi

I have little problem on doing "user-mounts". 
There is a line in fstab
"//server/share /mnt/server smbfs user,...."
The problem is that smbmnt wants the mountpoints to be owned by the 
user doing the mount. 
Other devices can be mounted when the mountpint just has the group 
of a user.
I can circumvent this by using sudo. Is there a solution to 
establish a fstab entry which can really be used by all users of a 
certain group?

greetings

With the 'user' option you don't need group either.

You could use autofs to mount with group rwx when someone from that group 
accesses (not sure how autofs allows limiting this, but you could put it 
in a subdir that's chmod 0750).

This will be fixed so that smbfs is mounted like any other linux
filesystem, directly by mount, bringing the same rules with it. Code is
not really finished yet.
