Curtis, check the permissions on smbmount and smbumount. I added them to permissions.local, so that a user can mount/unmount a SMB share. [ snip ... ] Something else that's real strange about it, even after booting up and getting to his desktop and seeing it's already mounted (the windows partiton), trying to umount it as root or user does no good, but just 'click' on it and it'll open op the browser and we can read/write to the partition all we want to. That one really blew my mind, heh.
I remember one other thng too, when I was in YaST2->partitoner, it of course sees the M$ partition, but offered no mount point for it in the pull down menu, so I wrote in windows/C, and then when I tried to umount it (right-clicking on the icon on the desktop), it said only root has this permission to mount/umount /dev/hda1 from inside windows/C...maybe I've written in something wrong at the mount point? His fstab looks like it should, nice and normal, and his lilo is *exactly* like mine, so I don't understand why it's wanting to fight me.
Does your /etc/fstab have something similar to: /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0 This mounts on boot and allows free access. -- Patrick Shanahan Please avoid TOFU and trim >quotes< http://wahoo.no-ip.org Registered Linux User #207535 icq#173753138 @ http://counter.li.org Linux, a continuous *learning* experience
