try using autofs. ----- Original Message ---- From: James Pearson <james-p at moving-picture.com> To: centos at centos.org Sent: Wednesday, June 4, 2008 19:42:18 Subject: [CentOS] Mounting cifs shares by non-root users on CentOS 4.6 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?
