Dear All,

For the most part I have networking working using samba connecting my Suse 8 and Win98, however when I try to open files that show in LinNeighborhood on my Suse8 desktop or on my Suse8 laptop I get an error message that says "smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (500,500) smbmnt failed: 1". Is this a simple permission problem? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thank you,

Marcia

Yes it is a permission problem. All you have to do is add the SUID bit to smbmnt and smbumount in the directory /usr/lib/samba/classic. Like so as root "chmod u+s /usr/lib/samba/classic/smbmnt" and "chmod u+s /usr/lib/samba/classic/smbumount". Without the quotes. That should get you going. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
