smbmount - what permissions?

[Parker Dubberke]

Hello,
I am trying to give some users on a Linux machine the ability to mount
shares from an NT server. Eventually I would like them  to be able to do
this with a gui tool like LinNeighborhood, but for now I am trying to
get the smbmount command working. 

I can mount the shares while logged in as root, but when I try logged in
as the user, I get an cannot mount on /mnt/userdir: Operation Not
Permitted error.  The user has RWX permission to the /mnt/userdir
directory and can otherwise manipulate files there.  I am using:


smbmount //servername/sharename /mnt/userdir -U username

As I said, this works if I log in as root and use any of the usernames
I've set up. This is smbmount 2.05a. What permissions do these users
need to mount the network share?

Thanks,
