How to mount SMB file system from NT server automatically? I am mounting SMB file systems from NT server when user enters the X session (KDE). It is arranged in .bash_profile in users home directory: # Mount my Home&Group at NT Server smbmount //ntescl2/ugv73$ H -U ugv73 -P mypassword smbmount //ntescl2/05057$ G -U ugv73 -P mypassword smbmount //ntmlnz4/Public$ P -U ugv73 -P mypassword When user logs out from X session SMB file systems are unmounted. It is arranged in .bash_logout in users home directory: # Unmount my Home&Group at NT Server /usr/bin/smbumount /home/$USER/H /usr/bin/smbumount /home/$USER/G /usr/bin/smbumount /home/$USER/P It was working fine in Red Hat 5.2 , but when upgraded to 6.1 i discovered that command smbmount was changed. Now it is not clear how to mount automatically that file systems.
First, you'll need to make smbmount, smbumount setuid if you want users mounts to work. Secondly, the syntax for smbmount did change; you're probably best off upgrading to samba-2.0.6, as samba-2.0.5 doesn't support mounting as a particular user, IIRC.
P.S. Sorry i forgot to mention i have changed smbmount/smbumount setuid. I have to renew my question because it is not correct that samba 2.0.5 is not supporting mounting as a particular user. It accepts -U option and the problem is that it not accepts -P (password) option and NT server is asking for password interactively that means automatically mounting in script is not possible.
P.S. By the way - Where i can get samba 2.0.6 - it not appears to exists in Red Hat 6.1 update ftp directory.
The problem resolved: I installed samba 2.0.6 - resolves the problem. I got it from ftp.samba.org and ever more - it is possible to write NT server+directory, mounting point and all options (username, password,etc.) in /etc/fstab file and do mount/umount like just another file system. Thanks.
Oops, apologies for the slow response. Samba-2.0.6 is in Raw Hide; you can get it from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/
