[rhn-users] Mounting Linux from Windows

[Marty Merrick]

Here's the command I use on RH:

smbmount //WindowsServer/share_to_mount /home/users_home/mount_point_dir
-o username=username,uid=500,gid=500

The benefit of doing it this way is you can allow each (non-root) user
control over which shares they mount. Have them create a mount point
directory in their home directory. 

You will need to set the sticky bit on  /usr/bin/smbmnt (as root) as
well: chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt

After that the (non-root) user can run the smbmount command as above.

Cheers,
Marty
