You man not have noticed but the first post on this was example of exactly what you say above. The mount point belonged to user reader. Before the command: ls -l drwxr-xr-x 2 reader wheel 2 2009-03-26 07:10 harvey-e reader > mount -Fsmbfs //harvey/harvey-e /mnt/harvey-e Password: mount: mount_smbfs: /mnt/harvey-e: Not owner The error is, at best misleading... since reader is the owner. None the less, mount fails when run by user reader with a user reader owned mount point. _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
