If you want normal user to be able to mount network share such as samba/cifs or nfs... you can add the following to the very end of /etc/sudoers file and restart.
# allow members of CDROM group to mount without prompting for root password %cdrom ALL = NOPASSWD:NOEXEC: /bin/mount, /bin/umount, /sbin/mount.cifs, /sbin/mount.nfs then add "sudo mount" etc etc to the users mount script. example of samba mount sudo mount.cifs //NetworkDrive/"Folder" "MountPoint" -o ip=NetworkServerIPaddress,username="$UN",password="$PW",nounix,noserverino,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 It will NOT ask them for the root password, as the sudoers file stops them from needing it. this works great for me.. The way I see it, if they have cdrom permissions and are sitting at my PC.. I trust them enough to mount a network share. Please advise if it's a gaping hole in my security. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657900 Title: mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /home/myuser/mydir/myshare found in /etc/fstab -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
