[sydney]

Hello,

I dosent want allways mount sambashares as root with root:root writes.
I need samba mount as user i try set the suid bit on smbmount but doesent works right.

Code: Select all

[sydney@midgard ~]$ smbmount //192.168.2.20/sydeney /media/smb/sydney/ -o username=sydney
libsmb based programs must *NOT* be setuid root.
4240: Connection to 192.168.2.20 failed
SMB connection failed

i know fstab is a way but i dont want use it, only if no other solution.
I hope some can tel me a solution or HowTo mount sambashares as user.

Thank you very very much

I can use ambmount as a non-root user. No suid needed. What problems did you face when you try to run smbmount as a user?

Try this:

Code: Select all

cd $HOME
mkdir sydney
smbmount //192.168.2.20/sydeney sydney -o username=sydney
cd sydney
ls -l
cd ..
smbumount sydney

Post any issues that you find. And remove that SUID bit from smbmount.
