Hi! Maybe it as been describe before. Be patient in this case. I configured fstab to enable any user to mount partitions of the other machines of my network. Very easy and nice job with this brilliant yast2 (great graphic version and yet I was an athusiast of the old ncursy yast!). Let's say I am logged as user "barnaby" on the machine "noah". I mount the partition /home/pip of the machine "doodle". /etc/fstab tells my machine to mount with "rw,noauto,users,exec" It almost works. The /home/pip partition of the machine "doodle" IS mounted. BUT mounted under the name of the user "sikes" who is an other user of y machine "noah".
