Hi, with another distribution I could mount an SMB share as my user (passing different credentials to mount.smbfs) in such a manner that on my pc the mounted files appeared to belong to my user. The /etc/fstab entry was: //server/dir /home/nico/dir smbfs noauto,users,rw,noexec,username=MYUSERNAME,password=MYPWD 0 0 0 0 In FC8, instead, using cifs I can't obtain the same result: mounting always fails. The problem seems to be related to mount.cifs: $ smb4k_mount -t cifs -n //server/dir ./a -o username=MYUSERNAME,password=MYPWD mount error 1 = Operation not permitted Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) How can I make this configuration work? I can neither change the user exporting the share nor change my local user. I'd like to use the good old smbfs, but it seems to have been completely removed from Fedora kernels (why? ) . Thanks, Nico
