Mounting cifs share as user

I've got the following cifs share listed in my /etc/fstab:

//stonehenge/scolgan /home/sean/Documents/stonehenge cifs rw,noauto,user,sync,credentials=/home/sean/.creds_stonehenge,uid=sean,gid=users,file_mode=075 5,dir_mode=0755 0 0

I can mount this share as root no problem. When trying to mount it as a user (as the 'user' option should allow), I get the following error:

sean@Iago:~> mount /home/sean/Documents/stonehenge/
mount error 1 = Operation not permitted
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Error 1 is a permissions or invocation error. I'm going to guess permissions since root works OK. What are the permissions and ownership on "/home/sean/.creds_stonehenge"?

Let us know how you get on

Chris...

the permissions for the credentials file is:

sean@Iago:~> ls -l .creds_stonehenge
-rw-r--r-- 1 sean users 35 2006-01-25 12:55 .creds_stonehenge

that's everyone with read and the current user (me) with rw. Not sure how this could be affecting it.

Besides, I get the same error when the user and pass are included directly in fstab. Like this:

//stonehenge/scolgan /home/sean/Documents/stonehenge cifs rw,noauto,user,sync,user=scolgan,password=****,uid =sean,gid=users,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 0 0

any other thoughts?

Hi!
I had the same problem...This worked for me:

As root: chmod +s /sbin/mount.cifs

EDIT: Oops! only a year to late.... :D well.. 2006, 2007... the years pass so quick...
