 |
|
hi,
i have a problem mounting a davfs resource which i cannot explain to myself. Here it is:
/etc/fstab:
| Code: | http://mediacenter.gmx.net /mnt/gmx davfs noauto,users 0 0
|
so as root i can do mount /mnt/gmx and am prompted for username and pw, but as a user the following happens:
| Code: | baf@baf ~ $ mount /mnt/gmx/
/sbin/mount.davfs: You must be member of group users
baf@baf ~ $ id
uid=500(baf) gid=100(users) groups=10(wheel),18(audio),27(video),35(games),100(users),408(scanner)
baf@baf ~ $
|
could anyody explain to me why i get this error despite being in the users group?
thanks for help

The option im your fstab should read "user" not "users".
Hth, Alex!!!

i tried this, too.
but the manpage of mount.davfs says that "user" and "users" have the same effect.
i rather wonder why the message claims my user be not in group users.
anyway thanks |

| The difference between "user" and "users" in fstab, is that "user" allows anybody to mount the device, and only the mounting user (or root) to unmount it. "users" allows anybody to mount and unmount. - ie not necessarily the same user. |
