samba fstab

gunnix · 07-02-2005, 05:52 AM

Hi, I'm trying to automount a windows shared folder on my debian stable computer. I have added this entry in fstab:

//NEW/SharedDocs /mnt/share smbfs rw,auto,userid=guest,passwd=guest 0 0

But only the root can read and write to it. I'd want the normal user to be able to read and write. How do I do that?

(I tried a lot of stuff but it just doesn't seem to work, I'm a samba noob)

grtz

post the output of   ls -l /mnt/   please

drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 2005-07-02 16:08 share

With this entry I can mount with root and then rw with user sam:
//NEW/SharedDocs /mnt/share smbfs uid=sam,umask=0002,rw,users,auto,userid=guest,passwd=guest 0 0

But the folder doesn't get mounted at boot. Probably because smbd and nmbd aren't started yet when the computer tries to mount them. How to solve that?

My head was in the clouds. It wasn't local permissions in the way cause you were mounting a network share.

i need sleep.

now I just let it mount with an entry in .xinitrc:
sudo mount /mnt/share

It's an ugly hack if you ask me. And it's on a computer of a friend I do this. Tomorrow I'm leaving this place and will be 1000km away, so I hope I get it right still today.
