Package: smbfs Version: 2:4.5-2+squeeze1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
alternatively to smbfs, I would like to propose that smbmount could be used with fuse. smbclient and smbmount rock really. it works well, and you can use creditentials. - A .smbclient Please could add a possibility to "fuse-d" user can mount the samba shares to ~/samba without asking the admin to add their names/paras into /etc/fstab or a sudo. Fuse would be ideal for smbmount abnd ~/.bashrc to automatically mount it, though bit unsecured. Kind regards I could find furthermore that you must have root or fstab access for that. what about fuse? If you want normal user to be able to mount network share such as samba/cifs or nfs... you can add the following to the very end of /etc/sudoers file and restart. # allow members of CDROM group to mount without prompting for root password %cdrom ALL = NOPASSWD:NOEXEC: /bin/mount, /bin/umount, /sbin/mount.cifs, /sbin/mount.nfs then add "sudo mount" etc etc to the users mount script. example of samba mount sudo mount.cifs //NetworkDrive/"Folder" "MountPoint" -o ip=NetworkServerIPaddress,username="$UN",password="$PW",nounix,noserverino,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 It will NOT ask them for the root password, as the sudoers file stops them from needing it. this works great for me.. The way I see it, if they have cdrom permissions and are sitting at my PC.. I trust them enough to mount a network share. uPlease advise if it's a gaping hole in my security. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages smbfs depends on: ii cifs-utils 2:4.5-2+squeeze1 Common Internet File System utilit smbfs recommends no packages. smbfs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
