similar to: mount: only root can do that

Hi there... I want to mount a windows share automatically in fstab but I get an error When I try: mount -t smbfs //MSWinSMBServer/share /mnt/share, it works, and even when I pass options like, mount -t smbfs -o username=bcochofel,workgroup=COCHOFEL,uid=bcochofel,gid=users then, when asked, I type password... The problem is when I do this in my fstab... here's the line: //MSWinSMBServer

Background: Linux, Debian (Sarge). I want to auto-mount an smbfs at boot. smbmount version is 3.0.7-Debian. With the following in my fstab, I can do the mount as root, but have to provide a password (hence either I can't boot unattended, or can't mount it during boot): //<server>/<share> /mnt/point smbfs

I've been trying several times now: # mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/etc/samba/private/credentials,codepage=cp850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto //machine/share\$ /mnt/share Causes: # ls /mnt/share/directory Sp?rsm?l.txt While this: # mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/etc/samba/private/credentials,codepage=cp850,iocharset=iso8859-1 //machine/share\$ /mnt/share Causes: # ls /mnt/share/directory

Hello, recently I've ran into the problem that if a user mounts a share multiple times, then it cannot be mounted, except by root. Here is the relevant fstab line: //sephiroth/E /home/unity/Sephiroth smbfs ro,users,noauto 0 0 A user can mount and unmount the fs fine: unity@oaklandgardens ~ $ cd ~unity/ unity@oaklandgardens ~ $ mount Sephiroth/ Password: unity@oaklandgardens ~ $ mount |

I'm having a real hair-raising problem here and I thought maybe someone could help. At least I hope so. My workstation was running 3.0.2a, upgraded to 3.0.5. After upgrading to 3.0.5, I can no longer mount shares on my 2003 server. This started happening on an upgrade to 3.0.4 as well, I might add. Permissions-wise: I own the directory mounts on the local Linux workstation,

Hello everybody! I'm facing a strange problem which I coundn't solve googling around, so I hope that somebody in this list can help me. I have three machines running: 1x Win98, 1x Linux-Workstation (Samba 2.2.5) and 1x Linux-Fileserver (Samba 2.2.2). I want to mount a share from the Fileserver on the Workstation. Following both commands on the Linux-Workstation work fine and the share

First time samberer :) I have a home network, samba server running on kubuntu, wifes system running kubuntu and company laptop running XP. To start with I want to just share files. I can read files in shares from my wifes system but no matter what I do I cannot add files to the mounted share. I get 'cannot create regular file .... no such file or directory', even though the mounted

Hi! I first reported this issue as http://bugs.gentoo.org/136272 Mounting windows shares as a normal user causes quite a lot of trouble for me, using samba 3.0.22. I have this entry in my /etc/fstab: > //workstation/share /mnt/mountpoint smbfs \ > user,noauto,username=un,password=pwd,uid=un,gid=users,\ > fmask=660,dmask=770,codepage=850 0 0 With a root owned mount point I

Hi, Need some pointers. Currently using mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Since I can only mount as root, (not in /etc/fstab) sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Problem here is.. I can't get group or world writeable permission on the share. It's a NTFS share but that is not a problem. I can

I have noticed an inconsistency with the behavior of linux smbfs mounting a remote win2k server while a file is open for writing: 1) If a linux process opens a file that /doesn't exist/ on the win2k server, while the file is open, other machines trying to read the file give the usual 'Text file is busy' (linux) or 'file is in use by another process'

This may be sorta off topic considering this is probably regarding the linux kernel but I am hoping someone here will have the answer anyway. I am having the strangest problem when mounting a samba share with "-t cifs" as opposed to "-t smbfs" where, instead of mounting as the user I am logged in as, it is mounted as if I were logged on as a completely different user. For

i seem to be having trouble with certain characters in machine names and passwords. specifically, there is a hyphen in on of the server's names. this entry in the fstab file fails to connect with the following error: # mount /root/it-blackbox/c\$/ Password: Anonymous login successful 18867: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)

Hi Sorry about the misplaced Q I tried to use a script that when user will logon to the machine he will mount to smb mount (instead of fstab if it's problem) I sow on several places the option to use on /etc/fstab this line //server/share /mnt/home smbfs noauto,user 0 0 and I tried to put on script smbmount //server/share /mnt/home -o username=$USER and get libsmb based programs

When I attmept to mount a PC (W2K) share via my fstab, I get the following error message on the mount: "Unknown parameter encountered 'file'" Truth be told , samba is becoming more and more frustrating. The only thing I have been able to successfully do is to make visible my NFS mount point across my file server to my W2K machine. I am running SuSE 9.1, Samba 3.02a Enclosed is

Hi I'm using Debian woody. ii smbfs 2.2.3a-12.3 mount and umount commands for the smbfs... I want to mount a W2K share as user. Mount as root works fine.

Please help me understand why I am unable to connect to and browse the newly configured DFS tree that I installed on my Samba server according to the instructions found in Chapter 18. "Hosting a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree" of the official how-to.

Hi, I have some questions concerning mounted fs on a linux system. I run redhat linux 7.3 on my laptop, and when I hook it up to a desktop Windows 2000 Pro machine, I usually mount (part of) the Windows directories onto my linux dir tree (say, it is to /mnt/samba). I use the following command: mount /mnt/samba to mount the filesystem (file /usr/bin/smbmount has suid root, so I can do
