Hey all, I'm trying to set up /etc/fstab to let me conveniently mount some folders my girlfriend is sharing on her Win98 box. I have the following lines in /etc/fstab: //vash/temp /vash/temp smbfs user,guest,noauto 0 0 //vash/media /vash/media smbfs user,guest,noauto 0 0 //vash/schoolwork /vash/school smbfs user,guest,noauto 0 0 //vash/music /vash/media smbfs user,guest,noauto 0 0 Now, I can mount these resources *as root* just by typing # mount <mountpoint> but when I try it as a reg'lar user, I get: cannot mount on /vash/school: Operation not permitted smbmnt failed: 1 Uh... The mount-points exist, and all have permissions that look like so: drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.0k Aug 13 2002 media So how do I actually allow a regular user to mount these resources? Also, how do I make an fstab entry for a resource with spaces in its filename? such as //server/my shared folder I've tried backslash-prefixing the spaces, enclosing the whole thing in double-quotes & single-quotes, enclosing just the 'my shared folder' part in double-quotes & single-quotes... But mount just keeps tellin' me that line is 'bad'... Thanks! -- ,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. > -ScruLoose- | Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards < > Please do not | for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup. < > reply off-list. | < `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
