What is printed in the UID column for this command (change lynn the current user):
ps -lnU lynn
UID is 0
It's root, the user who mounted the share.
User lynn has a uid of 0? Something sounds wrong. lynn is, effectively, root. That does not sound right at all. lynn is logged in on a client, and was validated via ldap?
Thanks for all your time you've spent.
I too am after mounting CIFS (automatically on login) and having users get their own permissions. Our company provides CIFS directories where we put lots of analysis data. The analysis machines run Linux. Managing permissions when two different users are logged in to the Linux machine at the same time, and who need their own permissions on these CIFS volumes has been a headache. They may share a CIFS volume. So, I too am looking for a solution in this area. I think YaST has done an excellent job of managing setting up joining an Active Directory. From what you have said it has done similar work for LDAP. I think the next step must be to help manage access to CIFS volumes in the way we are trying. I suspect part of the problem is CIFS itself. But I have a feeling there are capabilities that escape us that would help this to work better.
