Network share on redhat

    Right here is the story.

    Two machines. 1 redhat the other windows 2003.

    There is a shared directory on the windows 2003 machine that I want to mount as a share. I can do this no problem as root, works every time but I want to do it as another user in which case I always get back:

    mount: only root can do that

    Now I've tried various entries in the fstab to work around it but still can't get another user other than root to mount this directory.

    Any ideas?

    Add this to the /etc/sudoers file:
    Cmnd_Alias MOUNT_SMB = /bin/mount -t smbfs -o uid=iregk *
iregk  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: MOUNT_SMB

    No joy. Added that in there still saying only root can do that.

    Even gave it a reboot just to be sure and same thing.

    Did you use sudo? (as you edited the sudoers file)

    Is your Samba username same as your username?
