Mount a network share without being administrator

Hi
I would allow a non-admin user to access a Windows network share. It must be mounted after boot because the wi-fi is not activated quickly enough. I do not want to make this user administrator, and the more I want to avoid any password in the clear. With an administrator account, I get to ride a good network share from a terminal with the command

sudo mount-t cifs / / 192.168.0.1/UnPartage / media / MyShare-o = MONUS user, iocharset = utf8

It is obviously necessary that I give my password for sudo, then the password Samba / CIFS. To enable mounting deferred by a non-administrator, I understand the need to put in / etc / fstab line like

/ media / MyShare / / 192.168.0.1/UnPartage smbfs utf8, user, noauto 0 0

then ask him to type

mount-c / media / MyShare

Problem 1: mount, only root user can do this
Problem 2: Nothing happens when I try from my administrator account (no message, no editing).

sudo mount-c / home / MONUS: MyShare

Can you help me?

Hi

mount-c / media / MyShare
Problem 1: mount: only root user can do this

A man mount tells us that the option -has is this,

mounts all filesystems listed in fstab (or only those of the type indicated) By adding the option-F, fork (2) will be invoked for all file systems are mounted simultaneously.

Now, not only your mount point is marked (Normally, you do not want it to be mounted at boot), but mount-a will try to mount any other mountpoints supposed to automatically mount. Hope this will help you.

Hello
1. Firstly, when I man mount I get this:
-a Mount all filesystems (of the given types) mentioned in fstab.
But there is no indication on the relationship between noauto and -a. But hey, if I ask a question here, it is because the aid does not solve my problem.
2. if, with an administrator account, I mount / media / MyShare I get:
error: improperly formatted UNC name. / media / frigate does not begin with \ \ or / /
No ip address specified and hostname not found
3. if I'm a non-administrator account, it is as already stated: mount: only root user can do this
So, this is not what I want. Any more help will be appreciated.

Hi
I had not seen your property line in / etc / fstab

/ media / MyShare / / 192.168.0.1/UnPartage smbfs utf8, user, noauto 0 0

You must specify the target assembly in the first field, then the mount point in the second:

/ / 192.168.0.1/UnPartage / media / MyShare  smbfs utf8, user, noauto 0 0

But I stick by that, if you use the option -a. You do not go up your shares, unless the installation is automatic.

Hi
I have progressed a bit.
So I corrected the / etc / fstab according to your instructions
But if I do that

mount / media / frigate

I get

mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not installed SUID

What does that mean?

sudo mount / media / MyShare

from an administrator account and providing two passwords, I get

mount error (13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs (8) manual page (egman mount.cifs) mount (where I found nothing relevant)

Order without reference to fstab and it works fine

sudo mount-t cifs / / 192.168.0.1/UnPartage / media / MyShare-o user = MONUS, iocharset = utf8

but I remember that the goal is to enable the assembly by a non-administrator. Any help on this.

Hi,
I think you can try this command, Not sure but just try it and see the results

smbmount / / server / share / localdir-o username = user, password = pass, uid = 500, gid = 500

Any more help please do post back.
