[gentoo-user] User mounting
Do I need to do anything special to let users (me) mount an cifs share? I don't want to have to use sudo all the time. I can mount/umount /mnt/cdrom without sudo. Here is my /etc/fstab entry: //kaleb/C$ /mnt/kaleb cifs defaults,noauto,user,credentials=/etc/samba/kaleb.conf,gid=100,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0 The above is one line. If I try to run mount /mnt/kaleb as a regular user I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ mount /mnt/kaleb/ mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not installed SUID Here is mount.cifs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ dl /usr/bin/mount.cifs -rws--x--x 1 root root 21K Mar 10 12:14 /usr/bin/mount.cifs* Thanks, Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The problem is that I cannot even *mount* it as a regular user.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ mount /mnt/kaleb/
mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not
installed SUID
mount.cifs is SUID:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ls -l /usr/bin/mount.cifs
-rws--x--x 1 root root 21232 Mar 10 12:14 /usr/bin/mount.cifs
Running strace on the mount command like so:
strace mount /mnt/kaleb/ trace.txt
Gives me this at the end of the output:
readlink(/mnt, 0xbf95d3e0, 4096) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

The interesting part is where stat64 is called on /sbin/mount.cifs.
/sbin/mount.cifs is a symlink to ../usr/bin/mount.cifs. Maybe mount
thinks that /sbin/mount.cifs is not SUID even though where it points to
is SUID?
