I'm trying to set up mounting of a Windows share for non-root users via /etc/fstab on a CentOS 4.6 box - I've followed the instructions at:
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares
Using something like the /etc/fstab example given in the wiki page (with, of course, using a valid share, username and password for my set up):
//winbox/getme /mnt/win cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=sushi,password=yummy 0 0
When as a non-root user I do:
% mount /mnt/win mount error 1 = Operation not permitted Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Running mount as root works fine, but I can not get it to work for non-root users.
Any ideas?
Thanks

NOTES This command may be used only by root, unless installed setuid, in which case the noeexec and nosuid mount flags are enabled.

If I try to set /sbin/mount.cifs setuid root, then I get:
% mount /mnt/win mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not installed SUID
Which is rather strange as mount.cifs _is_ SUID
Does this mean that the wiki examples don't work for CentOS 4?
Thanks

I've not used smb in years now, but i recall needing to suid /usr/bin/smbmount ( the actual code that does the work ) in CentOS-4 to make this work.

From CentOS 5, I set suid /sbin/mount.cifs and /sbin/umount.cifs and link them to /usr/bin/smbmount and /usr/bin/smbumount (for backward compatibility :-)).

cifs mounts don't use smbmount - they use mount.cifs ...
I've tried various combinations of options etc, but cannot get the mounts to work for non-root users ... so I've given up and done what is needed via sudo ...

ok, my point was that something under the hood needed suid for this to work. Not sure why cifs should not work though. Might be worth investigating.

I never got it to work, but now I mount in fstab, which is problem-free.

Another idea is to configure sudo to allow your users to do what is required :)
