From the SuSE Samba 2.0.7 distribution:
Attention! ========== The syntax of smbmount has changed! smbmount can not be called direct anymore. It will be called by a shell script /sbin/mount.smbfs, which will be called by mount. A sample call to smbfs: mount -t smbfs -o username=uname,password=passwd //smbserv/share /destination
Hmm, how do I get away with everything on the smbfs share being owned by root, then? That's a big pain in the neck. I don't mind adding local users to /etc/sudoers to be able to mount, but smbfs used to be such a fine users-level tool.
It's a pain. My users do not have access to mount - cdroms and floppy drives are automounted. And I _do_ mind adding them to /etc/sudoers. Consequently, all of a sudden I have to rethink my whole administrative strategy, when samba (which people use quite a bit) is incorporated in mount (whihc they can't use).
