Hey, I'm trying to do smbmounts as a normal user so I can access my
home directory on my server. When I do the following,
smbmount //lnx1/steve /lnx1
I get the following response;
cannot mount on /lnx1: Operation not permitted
smbmnt failed: 1
I set the setuid flag on smbmnt as suggested by the program when I
tried it the first time and got a different error. The share name is
'steve' which is my user dir on the server and /lnx1, the local mount
point is like any other mount point owned by root. I know that normal
mounts can't usually be done by normal users but I think for mounting
user shares, this is the only way to go.
Am I missing something here? Is this possible? BTW, I'm running
Slackware 9.0 with a 2.4.20 kernel.
