I've made that change but if I now issue the command 'sudo mount -a' I get this :- This program is not installed setuid root - "user" CIFS mounts not
What does
grep -i user /etc/fstab
show?
Nothing. It just returns to the prompt.
I've been playing with this some more and I find that from a Debian installation running under Virtual Box, that doesn't have any problems with the user connecting to the same shares. I just clicked on 'Connect to Server', entered the IP address, user name and password and it worked. So trying again here on Mageia, I entered the following under Dolphin smb://Epox@storage_server/Epox_Share/ and again, after entering the userid and password, I can connect. So why is it that cifs makes me jump through these hoops?
On a possibly un-related note, I had an installation of Mageia running under Virtual Box (I did that before making the change from Mandriva) and I notice that it retains things like the size of the konsole window whereas the full installation doesn't. When I reboot, the konsole window is full screen on opening despite the option 'Save window size and position on exit' being ticked. So is it possible that some of the files don't have the correct permissions set for them? I have no idea how I would check that though. One file yes, lots of files, not a clue!
