all my parirtitions mount correctly, but i have to be root in order to do it and my samba partition doesn't automount.... here is my fstab:

Code:

/dev/fd/fd0             /mnt/floppy     user,ext3       exec,user,noauto        0 0
====================================
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/dvdrom     iso9660         exec,user,noauto,ro     0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1      /mnt/cdrw       iso9660         exec,user,noauto,ro     0 0
#windows mounts just fine all by itself
/dev/hda1               /mnt/windows    vfat            uid=1001,gid=10,exec,user,unmask=002,dev            1 1
# but this doesnt
//chrislaptop/shareddocs     /mnt/shared     smbfs      uid=1001,gid=10,exec,dev,unmask=002,password=       0 0


using kuser manage i gather taht 1001 is my user's id and 10 is group wheel's id, but for some reason i still have to be root to mount all this

Add "user" to the options line, and make sure netmount launches automatically (rc-update add netmount default).

i tried that and still no go... there is no file in /var/log/samba/... and what about the cd drives... could it be that i have to many options in that field and they somehow cancel eachother out?

How is it "no go"? Please describe.

There is no log file in /var/log/samba because mounting of remote SMB filesystems is done by the smbfs kernel modules (under network filesystems).

CD drives shouldn't affect your SMB mount...

sorry for being vague. no go means samba doesnt automount nor can my user mount it. as far as the cds go, i would also like to allow my user to mount those aswell, but i dont care about automount (it'd be nice if they would mount when i put a cd in'em and unmount when i ejected alla other OSs)

Make sure netmount is set to start on boot (rc-update add netmount default), that should mount your share automatically. As far as 'user' goes, check the directory permissions, and note that only root can unmount something mounted by a different user. So, since /etc/init.d/netmount runs as root, your users won't be able to touch it unless root unmounts first.

that worked for my cd-drives. as for netmount:

* netmount already installed in runlevel default; skipping


i dont care that i wont be able to mount it as a user if i could automount it on boot...

that mounts my samba partition alright (when i run it as root) but then again so does mount /mnt/shared....

maybe this helps when i boot it tells me "couldnt mount all network partitions" but as usual it assumes i know why..

Code:

//chrislaptop/shareddocs     /mnt/shared     smbfs     uid=1001,gid=10,exec,dev,unmask=002,password=       0 0


...im sure the answer is in there somewhere

if there was some sort of log file or more specific error message i could investigate... i guess as long as i can mount the partition it doesnt matter

i find that after chown /mnt/shared i can now mount it as a user (but not unmount it and thats fine), maybe ill just call this a victory and move on to screwing with XDMCP. (insert 3 scary tones "DUHN dUHn duhn")
