mount.cifs //kidsdell/config /mnt/kids-cfg/ -o username=david,uid=1000,password=xxxxxxxx,noperm be careful with "noperm" it gives essentially UID=0, or root permission from the client.
That's not exactly right David. (Or perhaps it was just a quick wording choice). It gives permissions to all users on the Client to the mounted share. (which, if it is your personal machine is not a significant risk). But it does not allow any permissions that username and password credentials would not otherwise give. You MUST use noperms if your uid/gid on the client does not match uid/gid on the server, or if the server does not support unix uid/gid (such as if it is an actual windows server) Further the mount can specify uid/gid to be used such that even if there are multiple users of the client, only specific users/groups would gain access to those mounted shares. -- ----------JSA--------- "Ubuntu" is an African word meaning "Suse is too hard for me". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
