[PLUG] smbmount Queestion continued

Richard,

Tried that, no help.  The problem is two fold,
  1.  The "username=guest" is a documented smbmount option to suppress the
password requirement.  E.g. when I mount using a "mount -a"
  2.  The "rw" needs to be extended past root.  The "guest" designation is
supposed to do this.  Leaving it out the smbmount is done with the user as
"root". 

There must be a special form for these arguments in /etc/fstab, but I have
not found them in the documentation.

Bill,

   I may (once again) be totally incorrect, but most filesystems mount with
"user", not "username=guest". I wonder if the latter is a winduhs dialect
and the former a linux dialect.

   Here are two lines from /etc/fstab on this host:

/dev/cdrom       /mnt/cdrom       iso9660     noauto,users,ro  0   0
/dev/fd0         /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,users     0   0
                                                      ^^^^^ Just a random
thought,

Rich
