[Samba] smbmount windows 2000

[Hidong Kim]

Hi,

I'm trying to mount Windows 2000 shared directories onto Red Hat 7.2 and 
8.0 machines using smbmount.  One of the Linux machines is called 
ripley.  There are two lines in ripley's /etc/fstab to mount the Windows 
directories:

//192.168.230.10/public /ash/kim/emerald/kuato2public           smbfs 
username=hkim,password=grappa  0 0
//192.168.230.25/bstaker        /ash/kim/emerald/bstaker        smbfs 
username=hkim,password=grappa  0 0


hkim is my username on the Windows workgroup.  I created the mount 
points under my regular Linux user account.  When I do a "mount -a", I 
get these messages:

3645: session request to 192.168.230.10 failed (Called name not present)
3645: session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
3648: session request to 192.168.230.25 failed (Called name not present)
3648: session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)


The Windows shared directories do get mounted, but only with root access:

    4 drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         4096 Nov 22 15:21 bstaker/


I have to be root to access this directory from the Linux side.  If I 
unmount the directory, ownership reverts back to my regular Linux user 
account.  How can I get this directory accessible as a regular Linux 
user?  Thanks,
