Thanks for all your replies. From the information that different people gave me I pieced together what should be done in order for an ordinary user to use smbmount under samba-2.0.5a-1 You have to SUID both /usr/bin/smbmnt and /usr/bin/smbmount ie chmod +s smbmnt chmod +s smbmount Then you have to create a mountpoint which is owned by the user trying to mount, ie if the mount point is /mnt and the user is trying to mount an NT share on /mnt, the latter should be rwx by the user. Of course on the NT side, the share also has to be owned by that user. If the share is say, machine "pent-502" share "hugo", you then issue the command: hugo> smbmount //pent-502/hugo /mnt -- Dr Hugo Bouckaert - Systems Administrator, Computer Science UWA Tel: +(61 8) 9380 2878 / Fax: +(61 8) 9380 1089 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Web: http://www.cs.uwa.edu.au/~hugo
