[Bug 563805] Re: mount.cifs won't mount shares; set uid bit not set
So, I set up sudoers and works great. But we have another problem thou. I have put everything in the fstab. In Gnome if you go to Places you see the mount point, but if you decide to go there it says Unable to mount test2 (which is my mount point for the cifs). If I manually mount it, obviously you canno umount it. So, how can you fix Places, to be able to mount/umount it (again it is in my fstab) with no problems? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563805 Title: mount.cifs won't mount shares; set uid bit not set -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Does this mean other mount.X utils will be similarly affected?

[Bug 563805] Re: mount.cifs won't mount shares; set uid bit not set
setuid bit is set to /bin/mount and /sbin/mount.cifs: sudo ls -la /bin/mount /sbin/mount.cifs -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 72188 2010-03-22 18:51 /bin/mount -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 30424 2010-04-09 17:29 /sbin/mount.cifs but I got: mount -t cifs //server/datenauf$ /mnt -o user,rw,user=bbr,dom=ivu-ag mount: Nur „root“ kann dies tun (that means: only root can do). The user I try to mount this share is the owner of /mnt.

Thierry, what about /bin/mount? $ which mount | xargs ls -l -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 72188 2010-03-22 18:51 /bin/mount it has the setuid bit set. Should mount and mount.cifs be treated equally?

[Bug 563805] Re: mount.cifs won't mount shares; set uid bit not set
Setting the setuid bit on mount.cifs is discouraged upstream and opens interesting security vulnerabilities: smbfs (2:3.4.5~dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low * As of this version, the mount.cifs binary is no longer setuid. Upstream has always been increasingly unsupportive of this configuration over time. For instance, in bugs like https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6853, it is clearly mentioned that having it setuid root is discouraged. -- Christian Perrier bubu...@debian.org Sat, 06 Feb 2010 15:09:00 +0100 Ubuntu will not deviate from upstream or Debian in that respect, so this bug won't be fixed. Rather than restoring the missing +s, I suggest you use sudo when running mount.cifs. If you need finer-grained control, you can use /etc/sudoers to define a specific group that could run that specific command without having access to the whole thing. ** Bug watch added: Samba Bugzilla #6853 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6853 ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Won't Fix -- mount.cifs won't mount shares; set uid bit not set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 563805] Re: mount.cifs won't mount shares; set uid bit not set
I think Dietmar's comment #5 is pretty interesting: the binaries in 9.10 did *NOT* have the suid-bit set, but it definitely worked for me back then (and for others too, as they reported). So there must have been a way to make this work.

[Bug 563805] Re: mount.cifs won't mount shares; set uid bit not set
DebianSamba people say that's insecure to add setuid bit on these binaries, and so this fix is discouraged.

Same here, setuid fixed it, thx.

Yeah got this issue too. Was mount.cifs suid in 9.10? There's also a 'Mount FUSE filesystems' permission that can be set for users through the GUI now.

I too have run into this issue. 9.10 this was fine, 10.04 mount.cifs requires the setuid bit before allowing users to do this w/o sudo privileges.
