Here's how I do it on RH 9. I'm curious to see other solutions. This is the pertinent line from my /etc/fstab: //windoze_machine/windoze_share /mnt/win_g smbfs username=yrs_truly,password=secret 0 0 This involves putting my user passwd in clear text in my fstab, so I limit even read access to this file to root. You can use uid or gid instead of uname, of course. I would only do this at home, btw, and then only behind a firewall (I use Smoothwall). --Phillip Rose At 19:45 06/09/03 -0500, Justin Georgeson wrote: >I don't like having to su to root every time I want to mount a windows >share. > >[jgeorgeson@dragonfly ~] >$ smbmount //dragon/Music tmp/ >Password: >smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (500,500) >smbmnt failed: 1 >[jgeorgeson@dragonfly ~] >$ > >I don't have this limitation with the binary packages for debian, so I >assume it's either a compile time option or a runtime configuration >setting.
