Linux Archive - help with samba client?

Philip wrote:

Hi

I used to be able to use smbmount to mount a samba share into a non-root
users directory, but a while back it stopped working.
The man page suggests mount -t smbfs but when I try it I get an "only
root can do that" error (I don't remember the exact wording).

What's the correct way for a non-root user to mount a samba share?
it must be possible because the smbk4 gui program can mount a samba
share without the root password, but I want a command line way that I
can add to login scripts.

In my case both client and server are etch.

Samba is a mystery to me, but I use it on Sid to run with VMware's
vmserver 1.0.6 + XP (no SP's).

I used to get read-only shares mounted until I changed:

read only = no

in /etc/samba/smb.conf line #231.

That made the user home directory writable and non-root.
Don't know if that helps.

The same problem here with Asus R2E. I was able to work around the Error 15
changing the menu.lst file this way:

#title Ubuntu intrepid (development branch), kernel Last successful
boot
#root (hd0,4)
#kernel /boot/last-good-boot/vmlinuz
root=UUID=d4385ca4-3ee5-4181-9739-3cbd744d4bf3 ro quiet splash
last-good-boot
#quiet

title Ubuntu Mobile
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmcoreinfo-2.6.27-4-generic
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-4-generic
quiet

but when booting Error 13 appeared, according to
this<http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#13>,
it seems that the kernel file is corrupted. It could also be that I'm
missing something in my menu.lst reconfiguration.

Any idea?

Javi

Hiya,

I am able to run it just fine in the live version. At first I tried to
install it into a 20GB partition I had created for this but that failed
with an error 15 on reboot. I liked it so much I decided to format the
whole hard drive and install it, unfortunately it still does not boot
and gets an error 15 upon reboot. I have tried about 15 times using
different settings in the partitions on install. I have also
reformatted in Ubuntu 8.04 and then tried again but no luck. Anyone
else having a problem with the install? Any ideas on what is going
wrong? It is a Q1 Ultra which has no trouble running MID and 8.04.

Thanks,
Ryan.
