Can't mount share on my linux boxes as a regular user.
I have no trouble mounting shares as root.
This problem occurs on both my linux boxes.
All the commands I show I have run as a regular user.
Here is all the data I have:
smbmount \\\\JHAMMER6\\public /mnt/NetWork/JHAMMER6/public/ -o debug=6
mount.smbfs started (version 2.0.7)
Initialising global parameters
params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file
"/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf"
Processing section "[global]"
doing parameter netbios name = HAMMER2
handle_netbios_name: set global_myname to: HAMMER2
doing parameter interfaces = 192.168.0.2
doing parameter security = SHARE
doing parameter log level = 1

echo junk > /mnt/NetWork/JHAMMER6/public/junk
works as a regular user.
I have chmod 777 the path to the mount point.
I am stumped.
Do I have to have anything in fstab for a regular user to mount files?
Any insight appreciated.
