I have been fighting with this problem for ages and I wish someone could get me a real answer. Everything works except one thing:users can't mount the smb share, even though I have "user" in the fstab options. I have tried fiddleing with the perms on mount, smbmount, and so on, but all I get is stuff like this: [jw@garnet jw]$ mount /mnt/Cschomeserver/ cannot mount on /mnt/Cschomeserver: Operation not permitted smbmnt failed: 1 mount.smbfs: ioctl failed, res=-1 Could not umount /mnt/Cschomeserver: Invalid argument Here's my fstab line: //cschomeserver/servere /mnt/Cschomeserver smbfs noauto,username=anyone,password=,user 0 0 I've also used "smb" instead of "smbfs". mount /mnt/Cschomeserver works PERFECTLY fine for root, either way, but never as any regular user. Does anyone know what it takes to make smbshares user-mountable? I should note that this is on a Red Hat system (sorry....). IMHO it should hardly matter :-( <p> JW <p>At 02:38 PM 12/3/2000 +0100, you wrote:

I have a short question (actually two questions):
Is it possible to make an entry in /etc/fstab, so that I can have my roommates Win98 shares mounted automatically?
If it is, what should the entry look like?
I tried looking at the manpages for: - fstab - mount - smbmount - smbmnt without getting any useful hints.

Example from my own fstab
# Windows stuff on "giles" # //giles/u /giles/u smbfs auto,username=billy,password=gates 0 0 //giles/root /giles smbfs auto,username=bigus,password=bucks 0 0
