The user in question probably needs read/write access to the /dev/smbX device in question. An elagant solution is to create a group called e.g. smbusers. All the users who need to mount an smb share should be added to this group. Then you have to add the following rule to your /etc/devfs.rules file; [local_ruleset=10] add path 'smb*' mode 0660 group smbusers The following then needs to be set in /etc/rc.conf. devfs_system_ruleset="local_ruleset" Then reboot or re-start devfs and try again. Normally when mounting a drive as a normal user, the user in question needs to _own_ the mount point. I'm not sure if this applies to smb devices, but try it.
