Hello,
I am trying to use a W2K share from my laptop. This share is on Fat32
(not sure if it matters). So far I am able either to configure it so it
is mountable by non-root user or to configure it so it sees
international (russian) characters in filenames on this share. I am on
FC3 with the stock Samba (updated to samba-3.0.10-1.fc3). Here is what I
did:
To make the share user mountable I changed the owner of the mountpoint
to the regular user I am using, chmodded one of the binaries (sorry - do
not remember which one - found its name in one of FAQs) and specified
"users" option in the /etc/fstab for this share. After all these I am
able to mount this share as a regular user (owner of the mount point).
Unfortunately, it cannot see russian characters in the file names.
To make russian characters visible, I added the following options to the
/etc/fstab : codepage=cp866,iocharset=utf8. It works ONLY if I remove
users (or user) option for the same share.
1)
username=administrator,password=xxx,fmask=0666,codepage=cp866,iocharset=utf8
This line allows me to see russian filenames but I cannot mount it as a
regular user - only as root.
2)
username=administrator,password=xxx,fmask=0666,codepage=cp866,iocharset=utf8,users
I am getting the following message in /var/log/messages if I use the
second line:
Jan 9 15:24:09 NS kernel: smbfs: Unrecognized mount option noexec
The share still mounts but the russian filenames are not visible
(russian letters are replaced with question marks ???).
Any ideas if it is possible to fix this? I can "sudo mount" all the time
but it does not sound right...
Thanks,
Nick

Are you sure it's "users" and not "user" ?

And what's wrong with smbmount ?
smbmount //server/share /your/mountpoint -o
username=<uname>,iocharset=utf8,codepage=cp866
Works like a charm as long as /usr/sbin/smbmnt is suid-root

/usr/sbin/smbmnt ?
After I chmodded /usr/bin/smbmnt one, I got:
libsmb based programs must *NOT* be setuid root.
29612: Connection to nata failed
SMB connection failed
I do not have /usr/sbin/smbmnt

I actually tried both. The reaction is the same (may be synonims?). As
soon as I specify it, codepage= and iocharset= parameters are no longer
recognized and an error message starts to appear in the
/var/log/messages saying that "noexec" parameter is not recognized by
smbfs (Jan 9 15:24:09 NS kernel: smbfs: Unrecognized mount option
noexec). This is actually not a big issue as I could write a script with
"sudo mount /my/mountpoint". And I probably can exclude this line from
my fstab and specify the parameters in this script. This just does not
look very user-friendly to me (ok for my single-user laptop). It appears
that I cannot use fstab with smbfs volumes if I want international
characters.
