Re: mounting w2k share as non-root user

Hi All,

The problem I'm having is mounting share from my w2k box, I can mount without any problem if logged in as root, but as soon as I'm logged in as a user I run into all sorts of problems, I've looked online, and found information but its not really very clear. Is there anyone on the list that can give me a helping hand? or point me in the direction of a good howto that works;)

Many thanks

Gabe


It's been a while, but I believe you can do it manually with a command like:

 sudo smbmount //winbox/share /home/granger/winmnt -o u=granger

which causes root to do the actual mounting, but to log into the windows share as granger and give granger the access rights on the mount point.

I don't know what it'd take to do something similar in /etc/fstab.
