Still can't get this to work right

Jeebizz · 06-02-2005, 12:26 AM

I am still at a loss on how to get my samba share mounted by a normal user with rw access, I have tried putting this in my fstab..

Code:

//minamoto/files /mnt/network smbfs  credentials=/etc/credentials,rw,users,umask=000 0 0

and tried the following, but getting back the following..

Code:

slackuser@slacker:~$ mount //minamoto/files /mnt/network
mount: only root can do that
slackuser@slacker:~$ mount //minamoto/files
cannot mount on /mnt/network: Operation not permitted
smbmnt failed: 1
slackuser@slacker:~$

so then I tried making the following changes to fstab, but with still no success...

Code:

//minamoto/files /mnt/network smbfs credentials=/etc/credentials,uid=slackuser,gid=slackuser,fmask=600,dmask=700 0  0

and still nothing

Code:

slackuser@slacker:~$ mount //minamoto/files
mount: only root can mount //minamoto/files on /mnt/network
slackuser@slacker:~$ mount //minamoto/files /mnt/network
mount: only root can do that
slackuser@slacker:~$

any ideas?

try removing the double //, so it just reads /blah..... if it's not working it's worth a shot.

To get smb4k to work properly I had to chmod + s a couple of files. I think the same may be true for you. As root:

chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt /usr/bin/smbumount

I am just running samba 3.0.5, I tried changing both smbmount and smbumount to +s but still nothing, and by removing one / it still wouldn't mount

smbmount and smbumount under 3.0.5 is in /usr/bin

smbmount and smbmnt are 2 differnent programs you DID NOT want to change smbmount, you wanted to change smbmnt

Make sure you chmod -s /usr/bin/smbmount

ok, I changed mod -s on /usr/smbmount

Code:

root@slacker:/usr/bin# ls -l smbmount
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root bin 601200 2004-09-13 18:38 smbmount

and applied chmod +s to /usr/bin/smbmnt

Code:

root@slacker:/usr/bin# ls -l smbmnt
-rwsr-sr-x  1 root bin 8076 2004-09-13 18:38 smbmnt
root@slacker:/usr/bin#

but still can't mount the share

Code:

slackuser@slacker:/usr/bin$ mount //minamoto/files
mount: only root can mount //minamoto/files on /mnt/network
slackuser@slacker:/usr/bin$ mount //minamoto/files /mnt/network
mount: only root can do that
slackuser@slacker:/usr/bin$ mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/etc/credentials //minamoto/files /mnt/network
mount: only root can do that
slackuser@slacker:/usr/bin$

What are the permissions on /mnt/network ?

Jeebizz · 06-02-2005, 09:53 AM

Code:

drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   48 2005-05-06 15:20 cdrw/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   48 2005-05-06 15:20 cpflash/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   48 2002-03-16 01:34 dvdrom/
drwxrwxrwx  15 root root 8192 1969-12-31 18:00 fat32/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   48 2002-03-16 01:34 floppy/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   48 2002-03-16 01:34 hd/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   48 2005-05-06 15:20 iso/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   48 2005-05-06 16:09 network/
dr-xr-xr-x   1 root root 8192 2005-05-22 23:03 ntfs/

but I don't see why that makes any difference, because I can mount my cdrw, dvd and other stuff just fine..
