I might have missed the statement about policy regarding smbmount
permissions. And, I have seen a lot of discussion in mail lists. What
we all have noticed is what follows.
For an ordinary mortal to mount a Samba share (equivalent to Windows
connect network drive), one needs the following performed by the root
(something one does not need performed on the equivalents in a Windows
system via administrator):
1) chmod u+s {dir}/smbmnt
2) chown {user in question} {mount directory}
[or the user does this in a directory he/she already owns
which would make sense]
Is this the intention? I am using Samba 2.2.7a.
Thank you in advance .. Richard
