Hi all

I am attempting to map my work remote drives to my laptop so I can access them as I move about the building. But here is the problem...
I need to mount and unmount these drives as I come and go from work because they are not accessible outside the building. My idea is to put them all in fstab and mount/umount them from the gui. But I got a major problem: users can not mount cifs

Here is what I have in fstab:
I can mount no problem as root. But as a normal user:
So, I want to figure out how to give my user AND MY USER ONLY permission to do CIFS mounts or, alternatively, any options I could add to fstab to allow this sort of thing. Ideas?

ALMOST FORGOT: on CentOS 6.5

If you can't mount you can't use either! Right?
Do you possess root privilege? Because you can mount as root drop back to user and dismount as root.

ok, ANYONE ELSE WHO CAN READ want to help me out on this one?

Do not know CentOS, but this?

Thank you for your reply. I am currently working on the last one while experimenting with (attempting to break) CentOS7. The other two go back to the user needing to ether su or sudo in order to mount the drive. This is very inconvenient as I chose an absurdly long pass word (phrase) for my root password on my laptop for security reasons. Having to type that in before and after every meeting is very cumbersome.

Giving the user the ability to mount network shares doesn't seem like that huge of a risk but maybe I am missing something? I just want to mount the network shares when I need them.

If I can get autofs to work like I am messing with in CentOS7 it could solve this issue. But then again, that solution requires that the server be able to resolve the laptop's hostname. I am unsure how to make that happen without bugging the admin and I really don't want to do that for something so trivial.
