No, they are not. User mounts are a well-established concept, and smbmnt behaves inconsistently with respect to them. $ id uid=1000(vorlon) gid=1000(vorlon) groups=5(tty),24(cdrom),29(audio),40(src),44(video),50(staff),1000(vorlon),2001(peripherals) $ grep mnt/test1 /etc/fstab /dev/hda5 /mnt/test1 ext3 noauto,user 0 0 $ ls -ld /mnt/test1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 2006-01-26 02:28 /mnt/test1/ $ mount /mnt/test1 $ mount | grep test1 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 on /mnt/test1 type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=vorlon) $ umount /mnt/test1 $ grep mnt/test2 /etc/fstab //maury/pub /mnt/test2 smb username=vorlon,user,noauto 0 0 $ ls -ld /mnt/test2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 2006-01-26 02:33 /mnt/test2/ $ mount /mnt/test2 added interface ip=192.168.13.2 bcast=192.168.13.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 64.22.192.12 ( 192.168.13.57 ) Password: cannot mount on /mnt/test2: Operation not permitted smbmnt failed: 1 $ sudo chown vorlon /mnt/test2 $ mount /mnt/test2 added interface ip=192.168.13.2 bcast=192.168.13.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 64.22.192.12 ( 192.168.13.57 ) Password: $ mount | grep test2 //maury/pub on /mnt/test2 type smbfs (rw) $ This is in addition, of course, to the behavior when calling smbmnt directly; though the two are related. I'm not satisfied with smbmount's behavior, and really never have been. I don't think it'll ever be fixed in smbmount (as opposed to in mount.cifs), but that doesn't mean it's not a bug. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
