I'm trying to set up a Samba share on a Lenny laptop that I can access as a regular user (i.e., me). I've tried going through the man pages and Googling, but I'm still hung up on something.
I can mount it manually with: $ sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=jester //192.168.1.10/HD /mnt/RemoteDisk and then entering the Samba password. However, then I only have access as root. My goal is to have access without becoming root. I don't need it to mount on boot, as it's a laptop, and I can't access the disk when away from home. I tried following various instructions in the man pages, and after making a separate credential file, ended up with this in my /etc/fstab: //192.168.1.10/HD /mnt/RemoteDisk smbfs noauto,users,credentials=/home/jester/.smbpassword 0 0 However, when I then try to mount this, I get an error: $ mount //192.168.1.10/HD mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not installed SUID $ Where is my mistake here? I've tried various things with no luck. Thanks. Jesse Sheidlower -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
