I've not used smb in years now, but i recall needing to suid 
/usr/bin/smbmount ( the actual code that does the work ) in CentOS-4 to

From CentOS 5, I set suid /sbin/mount.cifs and /sbin/umount.cifs and 
link them to /usr/bin/smbmount and /usr/bin/smbumount (for backward 
compatibility :-)).

cifs mounts don't use smbmount - they use mount.cifs ...

I've tried various combinations of options etc, but cannot get the 
mounts to work for non-root users ... so I've given up and done what is 
needed via sudo ...

ok, my point was that something under the hood needed suid for this to 
work. Not sure why cifs should not work though. Might be worth 
investigating.

Subject: [CentOS] Mounting cifs shares by non-root users on CentOS 4.6

I'm trying to set up mounting of a Windows share for non-root users via 
/etc/fstab on a CentOS 4.6 box - I've followed the instructions at:

http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares

Using something like the /etc/fstab example given in the wiki page 
(with, of course, using a valid share, username and password for my set up):

//winbox/getme /mnt/win cifs 
user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=sushi,password=yummy 0 0

When as a non-root user I do:

% mount /mnt/win
mount error 1 = Operation not permitted
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

Running mount as root works fine, but I can not get it to work for 
non-root users.

Any ideas?

Thanks

James Pearson

I never got it to work, but now I mount in fstab, which is problem-free.

If I try to set /sbin/mount.cifs setuid root, then I get:

% mount /mnt/win
mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not 
installed SUID


Which is rather strange as mount.cifs _is_ SUID

Does this mean that the wiki examples don't work for CentOS 4?

Thanks

Another idea is to configure sudo to allow your users to do what is 
required :)
