I am in the process of updating my client machines to
Fedora20. I set up a samba server back in the early 2000's
version 2.6. I am now running SL linux 6.1 with samba
version 3.6. The client is running Fc20 with CIFS version
2.2. selinux=0.
I implemented the means for users to mount their server
shares to their home directories using the mount.cifs
command then part of the samba-client package. This via a
script that tested the server availability, created the
mount point and mounted the share using a credentials file.
Five years ago the samba folks decided that user mounts
using mount.cifs setuid was insecure and they disabled the
feature. I have been able to keep using this feature on my
client machines up to Fc14 by copying the mount.cifs and
umount.cifs from the package distributed in Fc10. In the
mean time the CIFS folks have made it possible to use
mount.cifs setuid again with a corresponding entry in fstab.
Well I solved my problem for the short term. It is the same
solution as I've been using in the past and outlined above.
It didn't work in Fc16 or 18 but it works in Fc20.
I reviewed the lists at samba.org against a search topic of
"cifs authentication", the answer wasn't there, there were
similar problems but each was unique for more sophisticated
domains, and each took over a year to solve. So I will post
my bug on the samba buglist but I'm moving on.
till next
