-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have the following entry in fstab
//pooh/backup /bak/pooh/mnt smbfs ro,user,noauto,uid=backup,credentials=/etc/smbfs/backup 0 0 (The above is all one line) I have a cron job that runs as user backup and attempts to mount //pooh/backup do the backup and then unmount it again. It used to work, but recently I have been finding that the job has left the file share mounted. I checked manually, and sure enough - as user backup I can mount the file but not umount it. The man pages say that if I have the "user" option it should allow a user to mount it and to unmount it, and that it writes the user name in /etc/mtab. I checked and no user is in the file. Indeed - checking though various permissions, /etc/mtab is only writeable by root, /bin/mount appears to have a setuid bit set, but /sbin/mount.smbfs is a symlink to /usr/bin/smbmount which does not have the set uid bit set. Is this a bug? in what ? (I am running sarge) I can get round the problem by changing "user" to "users" in the /etc/fstab line Due to strange internet routing problems I can't get to bugs.debian.org at the moment to search for a bug, so I haven't submitted any bug report. Should I? - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+iIXtuFHxcV2FFoIRAjeGAKChNYzeo2I02UzoOsuY1XCMj4+Z2ACfdtfu R0CGEucuhB9D4q54SgW7fQQ= =7Niw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
