Package: smbfs
Version: 2.0.6-5
Operating system: Debian GNU/Linux Potato, kernel 2.2.15pre13/smp
Problem: Smbmnt does not allow me to mount an smbfs on a directory I
don't own even when /etc/fstab contains an entry with the "user" option.
(This behaviour is different from other filesystems like ext2).
Scenario:
$ ls -ld /xchange
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 21 16:19 /xchange
$ grep xchange /etc/fstab
//mowgli/xchange /xchange smbfs username=eric,uid=1000,user,noauto
$ mount /xchange
Password:
cannot mount on /xchange: Operation not permitted
smbmnt failed: 1
mount.smbfs: ioctl failed, res=-1
Could not umount /xchange: Invalid argument
I've looked through the source, and discovered the cause of the
failure. Smbmnt allows the mount only when I either own the mount point
or the real userid is 0. Because I run mount as non-root, the real userid
is non-zero while the effective uid is 0.
The following patches fixes smbmnt's behaviour:

Version: 3.0.27a-2
The bug reported in that issue was in smbmount, which we no longer
provide as we only provide a wrapper and mount.cifs as of 3.0.27a-2
Though mount.cifs has other issues related to shares mountable by
users (such as #403724), it does not appear to have this bug.
