Hi,
I have also similar problems with smbmount. After upgrading my linux
machine from SuSe 5.1 to 6.0, the command
smbmount //imperia/muenzer /home/hajo/imperia -U muenzer -u hajo -g users
is still working, but the share is mounted only with root-permissions, not
with hajo.users permissions. Also the smbumount is not working even as
root, in the same way than J. O'Kane wrote. On the other hand a normal
umount as root is working. My former samba-version was 1.9.17p2-3, now it
is 1.9.18p10-17. imperia is also a linux-box with samba, but with an older
version.
Any ideas?
thanks,
hajo.
