Greetings all; Here is another example of why I run as root on the main box here, regardless of how much hell you give me about it. >From smbclient: [gene@coyote Pictures]$ smbclient -L 192.168.71.8 Enter gene's password: (hit enter, or give it, same difference) Domain=[LAPPY] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.3.2] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- print$ Disk pdf-gen Printer PDF Generator (only valid users) genesdir Disk Gene's home dir IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server 3.3.2) lp2 Printer Epson C-82 in HQ color mode lp1 Printer Epson C-82 in C84 mode lp0 Printer Epson C-82 in C84 mode CUPS-PDF Printer Virtual PDF Printer (note, the above printer list actually comes from this machine) Domain=[LAPPY] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.3.2] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- COYOTE.DEN -------------- Ok, so 'genesdir' is there. So I made a mount point in ~/gene/lappy-samba here on this box and: [gene@coyote Pictures]$ mount -t cifs /lappy.coyote.den/genesdir ./lappy-samba mount: only root can do that There are some pictures stored in ~/gene/Pictures on that laptop that I sorely need to access and move as they might help me troubleshoot a transmitter problem that is a 900 mile drive away. What is the secret? (selinux isn't even built into the kernel here) Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
