Can't mount NT filesystem unless root

[Ho-Kuo Chan]

Hi,
    I am trying to mount a directory on an NT Server on my Linux machine
(Debian potato Linux kernel 2.2.17) using Samba. I have tried the
following:
smbmount //theServer/theDirectory /mnt/theDirectory -o
username=myUsername workgroup=theWorkgroup.
This works when I am logged in as root, but I can't mount as a user. I
have also tried adding the follwing to fstab:
//theServer/theDirectory /mnt/theDirectory
defaults,ro,user,username=myUsername,workgroup=theWorkgroup,gid=100 0 0
with no success. Is it possible to use smbmount as non-root? I have read
the FAQ's and checked some of the archives with no success. Thanks for
you help.
