Package: smbfs
Version: 2:4.5-2+squeeze1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

alternatively to smbfs, I would like to propose that smbmount could be used 
with fuse.

smbclient and smbmount rock really. it works well, and you can use 
creditentials.
- A .smbclient

Please could add a possibility to "fuse-d" user can mount the samba shares to 
~/samba  
without asking the admin to add their names/paras into /etc/fstab or a sudo.

Fuse would be ideal for smbmount abnd ~/.bashrc to automatically mount it, 
though bit unsecured.

Kind regards


I could find furthermore that you must have root or fstab access for that. what 
about fuse?

If you want normal user to be able to mount network share such as samba/cifs or 
nfs...
you can add the following to the very end of /etc/sudoers file and restart.

# allow members of CDROM group to mount without prompting for root password
%cdrom ALL = NOPASSWD:NOEXEC: /bin/mount, /bin/umount, /sbin/mount.cifs, 
/sbin/mount.nfs

then add "sudo mount" etc etc to the users mount script.

example of samba mount

sudo mount.cifs //NetworkDrive/"Folder" "MountPoint" -o 
ip=NetworkServerIPaddress,username="$UN",password="$PW",nounix,noserverino,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

It will NOT ask them for the root password, as the sudoers file stops them from 
needing it.

this works great for me..
The way I see it, if they have cdrom permissions and are sitting at my PC..
I trust them enough to mount a network share.

uPlease advise if it's a gaping hole in my security.

Please send such wishlist bug reports to upstream development lists
and have them discussed there. I don't think that the Debian BTS is
the right place for this.
