Spiel <Christoph_Spiel@physik.tu-muenchen.de> -Organization: Munich Institute of Technology, Institute E10 -Subject: WISHES:LINUX:smbmount -=============================================================================== -Machine Arch: i386 -Machine OS: linux -Kernel: 2.1.85 -Samba Version: Version 1.9.18p3 -Mount Version: 2.7i -Autofs Version: 0.3.14 - - -Hi SAMBA developers! - -I have written a shell script that marries smbmount and mount -on a Linux-machine with a 2.1.55+ kernel (i.e., a newer developper -kernel. Especially it makes smbmount compatible -with autofs! Now, You (when root :-) can say - mount -t smb /win-machine/my-share /mntpt -Concerning the management of the user/password-pairs I have already -made a step in the right direction, but there is still a lot of -brain-work to do :-( - -The primary problem with the Win passwords -is that they are under user-control, and not under admin-control -as the Linux passwords are. Therfore, I give every SAMBA user -a - ~/smb-pass -file where she can manage her usernames and passwords herself. -The fundamental mount-tables /etc/fstab and /etc/auto.* only -list the mount-point and the respective options. The userīs -password file is adressed via the uuname=<user_name>-option. - -An important "side-effect" is that the password file need not to -be word-readable. In fact my script tests for user-only rights of -this file to close this potential security-hole. - -The script mount.smb has to be installed in /sbin and given mode 755. -No suid is necessary! I attached an automount table that is currently -in use on my machine. A userīs password file looks like this: - -$ cat ~/smb-pass -supra:/cspiel cspiel secret -helium:/c cspiel sesame -^ ^ ^ -| | +- password -| +- username -+- share-name as in fundamental mount-table. - -It would be nice, if someone else tests my script. Maybe, You have -already found a better solution than mine. If You find it useful, -I would be glad to donate it to the SAMBA-project. - -BUGS: -(1) There is no documentation yet. (Yes, I consider this a bug!) -(2) When used with autofs the automounter overruns mount.smb. - This means when accessing an automounted share for the 1st time - You may get an empty directory. Retrying several times will - cause the mount to complete successfully. - - -Best, - Christoph Spiel - |
