-Subject: WISHES:LINUX:smbmount
-===============================================================================
-Machine Arch: i386

-Kernel: 2.1.85
-Samba Version: Version 1.9.18p3
-Mount Version: 2.7i

-Hi SAMBA developers!
-
-I have written a shell script that marries smbmount and mount
-on a Linux-machine with a 2.1.55+ kernel (i.e., a newer developper
-kernel. Especially it makes smbmount compatible
-with autofs! Now, You (when root :-) can say
- mount -t smb /win-machine/my-share /mntpt
-Concerning the management of the user/password-pairs I have already
-made a step in the right direction, but there is still a lot of
-brain-work to do :-(
-
-The primary problem with the Win passwords
-is that they are under user-control, and not under admin-control
-as the Linux passwords are. Therfore, I give every SAMBA user
-a
- ~/smb-pass
-file where she can manage her usernames and passwords herself.
-The fundamental mount-tables /etc/fstab and /etc/auto.* only
-list the mount-point and the respective options. The userīs
-password file is adressed via the uuname=<user_name>-option.
-
-An important "side-effect" is that the password file need not to
-be word-readable. In fact my script tests for user-only rights of
-this file to close this potential security-hole.
-
-The script mount.smb has to be installed in /sbin and given mode 755.
-No suid is necessary! I attached an automount table that is currently
-in use on my machine. A userīs password file looks like this:
-
-$ cat ~/smb-pass
-supra:/cspiel cspiel secret
-helium:/c cspiel sesame
-^ ^ ^
-| | +- password
-| +- username
-+- share-name as in fundamental mount-table.
-
-It would be nice, if someone else tests my script. Maybe, You have
-already found a better solution than mine. If You find it useful,
-I would be glad to donate it to the SAMBA-project.
-
-BUGS:
-(1) There is no documentation yet. (Yes, I consider this a bug!)
-(2) When used with autofs the automounter overruns mount.smb.
- This means when accessing an automounted share for the 1st time
- You may get an empty directory. Retrying several times will
- cause the mount to complete successfully.
-
-
-Best,
- Christoph Spiel
