Hi all, I want to enable a user mount of a remote samba share. OpenSuse 13.1. First step was to enable setuid bit for /etc/mount.cifs. To keep mount as easy as possible, I've added an /etc/fstab entry like this: //host/share /mount_dir user=user,users 0 0 Works fine in bash, prompts for remote user's password. Does not work in KDE's dolphin, no action when clicking on location bar's entry "share on host" I then recognized the "credentials" option and changed the /etc/fstab entry like this: //host/share /mount_dir cifs credentials=/root/cred-file,users 0 0 (sudo chmod 600 /root/cred-file, to protect password) Having done this, e.g. mount /mount_dir as "root" or with sudo works fine. But NOT as an end user: "error 13 (Permission denied) opening credential file /root/cred-file" Both in bash or Dolphin. chmod to allow read credential file for any user "solves" the problem, so it's really a local access right issue. Which in fact seems to make user cifs mount impossible, at least this way. And which confuses me: Why, if the mount.cifs program has the sticky bit set, it's not allowed to open a root-owned file? Is this a bug, should I file it in bugzilla?
