Hi,
I'm trying to mount Windows 2000 shared directories onto Red Hat 7.2 and
8.0 machines using smbmount. One of the Linux machines is called
ripley. There are two lines in ripley's /etc/fstab to mount the Windows
directories:
//192.168.230.10/public /ash/kim/emerald/kuato2public smbfs
username=hkim,password=grappa 0 0
//192.168.230.25/bstaker /ash/kim/emerald/bstaker smbfs
username=hkim,password=grappa 0 0
hkim is my username on the Windows workgroup. I created the mount
points under my regular Linux user account. When I do a "mount -a", I
get these messages:
3645: session request to 192.168.230.10 failed (Called name not present)
3645: session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
3648: session request to 192.168.230.25 failed (Called name not present)
3648: session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
The Windows shared directories do get mounted, but only with root access:
4 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Nov 22 15:21 bstaker/
I have to be root to access this directory from the Linux side. If I
unmount the directory, ownership reverts back to my regular Linux user
account. How can I get this directory accessible as a regular Linux
user? Thanks,
Hidong
