 Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2005 9:39 pm Post subject: smbfs in fstab and password [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Here's my situation:
line in fstab:
| Code: | | //ROUTER/root_dir /home/kristo/router smbfs user,credentails=/etc/router_smb_login 0 0 |
Ofcourse the file /etc/router_smb_login exists and contains data:
| Code: | username = kristo
password = <kristos_smbpasswd_on_router>
|
Now here's problem no. 1: mount asks for password, and when I type it in, it mounts ok. But I don't want it to ask for password - I set up credentails!
| Code: | kristo@mlotek ~ $ mount router/
Password:
|
And problem no. 2: user can't umount:
| Code: | kristo@mlotek ~ $ umount router/
umount: only root can unmount //ROUTER/root_dir from /home/kristo/router
|
| Code: | kristo@mlotek ~ $ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 1 kristo users 4096 Oct 6 23:33 router/
|
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Credentials only works with CIFS, not SMBFS.
Secondly, see man mount for the difference between "user" and "users".
| Code: | | //gateway/c$ /mnt/smb/gateway/c cifs credentials=/etc/cifs,noauto,uid=1000,gid=100,rw,users 0 0 |

I'll try to make cifs work - thanks..
But about the second question:
man mount:
| Code: | user Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. The
name of the mounting user is written to mtab so that **he
can unmount the file system** again.(...)
users Allow **every user to mount and unmount** the file system.
|
So this doesn't explain why I can't umount right after mounting it.. nomatter, I'll switch to cifs anyway and see how it works.. Thanks again. |

Not true at all; I have SMB filesystems mounted with the credentials file...
My /etc/smb.txt file looks like so:
| Code: |
username=foo
password=pA55w0rD
|
(note the lack of spaces surrounding the equals sign; I found that with them it wasn't as happy)
Hope this helps...

It's credentials, not cred. Try that.

Huh, that's cool. I had no idea. For some reason I thought it only worked with CIFS, but that's good to know.

thanks, it is the spaces problem..
btw, heres why I had spaces there: man smbmount:
| Code: | credentials=<filename>
specifies a file that contains a username and/or password. The
format of the file is:
username = <value>
password = <value>

cred is the same as credentails (man mount.cifs)
Thanks again all  |
