Once the share is mounted, what are the /etc/mtab and /proc/partitions lines for the mount? This behaviour occurs for samba-client-2.2.5-10 but is no longer apparent in samba-client-2.2.7-2 (dated Fri 22 Nov 2002), which was installed on Sun 01 Dec 2002 after his bug was submitted on 20 Oct 2002. The behaviour is now a failure once the mount is initiated by a user and the password is entered. The following message appears: smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (500,500) smbmnt failed: 1 Running the command 'chmod u+s `which mount`' does not resolve the problem. Running the command 'chmod u+s `which smbmount`' generates error: libsmb based programs must *NOT* be setuid root. 18476: Connection to alive failed SMB connection failed .......but I guess that's a different bug really. It looks like samba's smbmnt program isn't meant to securely handle this use case, so for now the only solution is to mount as root. |
