Howto mount a network share with -t cifs to ~/Documents with NO root

Basher52 · 04-19-2024, 04:27 AM

Got a network share called public and this is on an IP address of 192.168.10.13
Network has no domain server nor AD.

Now I want an Archlinux machine to mount that share without using root/sudo

I installed samba and if I 'sudo mount' it works this is because I know the root password.

Code:

sudo mount -o username=wutever,password=wutever //192.168.10.13/public /run/media/

This works and the user/pw set here can be anything.

When I create a new normal user on this machine how can I get this to work without any user interaction?
I want it mounted in the users Documents dir. so they can access it with pcmanfm.

Tried the 'override' thing in sudoers but that won't work and as I've seen so far, this is impossible.

This is Linux so I'm still hopeful

if it is listed in fstab you can make it available for users (just add the mount option users and probably noauto?)
