 |
|
Hi there,
I am not familiar with /etc/fstab entries concerning Samba entries. Is it possible and if yes, what does such an entry look like when I want to have the following:
I want to create a link on my KDE desktop with a nice harddrive icon that uses this entry from fstab. I want every normal user to be able to mount or umount the thing like a CD or DVD. Is this possible?
The share is a normal Windows 98 share (share level security) and has a password (no user attached).
thanks for a little pointer,
Tobias

In my fstab there's an entry like this which can be mounted by users
| Code: | | //smbserver/smbfolder /mnt/smbfolder smbfs guest,ro,noauto,user,gid=users,umask=0002 |
The samba user used to login remotely is 'Guest' however, and the share is mounted read-only. Hope that helps. |

| Code: | | \\bespin\pocketboy /mnt/pocketboy smbfs user,password=xyz,uid=1000,noauto 0 0 |
This works great for me. Thanks 
Though I cannot add another device link icon to my KDE desktop. KDE doesn't seem to accept the fstab entry when it isn't associated with a /dev entry.
Isn't there a possibility or a way to add a mountable icon just like a CD drive on the KDE desktop for Samba shares?
regards,
Tobias

Create a text file that looks like this
| Code: | username = <username>
password = <password>
|
and place it to a protected directory (let's say the file is '/root/smbcred'). Now add to your mount options
| Code: | | credentials=/root/smbcred |
For more info on mounting a smb share, type
Bye! |

I am not able to mount my samba shares with the /etc/fstab file.
For example, I can mount a share like this:
| Code: | mount -t smbfs -o username=rik //10.0.0.8/Riksdir /home/rik/smb
Password: |
Now I can browse my samba share like it is a directory on my PC.
But I don't want to type this mount command every time, I want to place it in my /etc/fstab. I tried several different lines, but they all don't work! Examples:
| Code: | //10.0.0.8/Riksdir /home/rik/smb smbfs noauto,user,uid=1000,gid=100,credentials=/home/smb_rik 0 0
|
| Code: | //10.0.0.8/Riksdir /home/rik/smb smbfs uid=1000,gid=100,credentials=/root/smb_rik 0 0
|
/root/smb_rik contains:
| Code: | username = rik
password = mypassword |
And has read rights 400 for root:root (I tried other files on other locations with other permissions, like 777).
...Help? |
