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 :-(

You might try adding the users to the group disk if you haven't already?? -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
