Mounting windows drives

[Tom Kovalcik]

Hi,

I need some method to allow users to mount windows shared drives on a Linux machines (running samba) and have full access and permissions to the files (read and write). I can mount the drives as root using mount -t smbfs //joescomputer/c ~joe/mywindisk but mywindisk is owned by root and joe cannot write to it. I did find the user option which fixes the write issue, but I must provide joe's password to connect. On top of everything, I would prefer if root did not have to mount the windows drives and regular users could do it themselves when they needed to. (I did try adding the mounts to fstab, but that required joes password in plain text.) Is there a good way to accomplish this? The Linux machine is running RH 8.0 and the windows OS's are XP pro, 2000, NT4, and 98.

Thanks
