Greetings all;
Here is another example of why I run as root on the main box here, regardless
of how much hell you give me about it.
>From smbclient:
[gene at coyote Pictures]$ smbclient -L 192.168.71.8

Ok, so 'genesdir' is there. So I made a mount point in ~/gene/lappy-samba here
on this box and:
[gene at coyote Pictures]$ mount -t cifs /lappy.coyote.den/genesdir ./lappy-samba
mount: only root can do that
There are some pictures stored in ~/gene/Pictures on that laptop that I sorely
need to access and move as they might help me troubleshoot a transmitter
problem that is a 900 mile drive away.
What is the secret? (selinux isn't even built into the kernel here)
Thanks.
