Using Sbm4K direct user mounts.

Asked by ClaudeC

When trying to access a file on another computer using Samba Smb4K I get the following error message "Smbmnt must be installed SUID root for direct user mounts. I understand the theory but unable to execute the fix. Can someone explain how to set the submnt and subunmnt so that it will work? I am a newbie please I need simlpe explicit directions. Are the smbmnt in the /usr/bin directory and is this where the unmount file is also? HELP

You can execute the following in a commandline terminal:

    sudo chmod u+s `which smbmnt`
    sudo chmod u+s `which smbumount`

or alternatively

    sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt
    sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbumount

Can you help with this problem?
