I am setting up some scripts which need to mount an unmount SMB shares. I want to do this as an unprivileged user. I have installed sudo, and am operating it manually to ascertain the manner in which I will incor- porate it into my scripts. As root, I have no problem with: /root# mkdir mnt /root# mount_smbfs //photocd@pdx-james/pub mnt Password: /root# ls mnt and sure enough, /root/mnt has the share mounted. Clearly I know and can accurately type the password for login "photocd". But as an ordinary user (actually, a wheel user, and I [think I] have sudo set up to allow wheel users to do anything), I get: First without sudo, to see what error I get if sudo isn't doing it's thing: /usr/home/joeblow> mount_smbfs //photocd@pdx-james/pub mnt Warning: no cfg file(s) found. mount_smbfs: can not setup kernel iconv table (default:tolower): syserr = Operation not permitted Using sudo, I get: /usr/home/joeblow> sudo mount_smbfs //photocd@pdx-james/pub mnt Password: Password: mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error Here is the meat of my sudoers file: # User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL) ALL # Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL What is preventing joeblow from using mount_smbfs? The "photocd" login is authenticated by a Windows NT 4.0 Server domain, if that is relevant. Thanks in advance!
