I got what is probably an easy set of ques. I am trying to allow
non-root users to mount a Win NT 4.0 Server share in their home dir.
I have gotten so far as having suid'ed smbmount and users can mount
their shares as needed. Now there are 2 probs. One is that they
can't get into the mount point because its permissions jump to
'd---------' as soon as the mount happens. I've tried various
combinations of the -f and -d options with no change. Using the
'-u <user-id>' doesn't help cuz a non-root user still can't access
to a 000 dir even if they own it. The second problem that I think I
have a solution to, is how do I give these users permission to umount
their shares? I have suid'ed smbumount but I can't figure out how to
address the shares. It always says that the share is not a Samba
share unless it is umount'ed as root w/ 'umount /unix/mount/point'.
I am sorry if the last ques is a true RTFM type ques but I just
couldn't get 'smbumount /unix/mount/point' or 'smbumount //win/share'
to work for an unpriviledged user.
thank for any guidance you can give,
