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).
Why this change?
Hey. It's your system. Make the mount program suid root and don't worry about security. Heck, security it just for wimps, anyway.
