 Posted: Thu Aug 24, 2006 7:27 pm Post subject: Mounting a windows share with CIFS |
 |
|
Hi,
I am setting up some linux boxes in a mixed-mode Active Directory environment. The linux boxes are setup for single sign on and are part of the Windows domain.
In our office where the Linux boxes are, we have a "User" folder where we have folders for each of our users on the network. This share is hosted on a windows 2000 server. My goal is to map the Home folder to that User share on the Windows box.
Heres what my fstab looks like for mounting that share in linux.
| Code: | | //192.168.1.60/User /home/DOMAIN cifs credentials=/shared/credentials 0 0 |
This mounts the directory just fine, but when users log in, they cant read the files in their own user/home folders. I'm sure it simply has to do with the mount options I'm passing, but I'm not all that familiar with CIFS yet.
Here is my credentials file...
| Code: |
Username = Administrator
Password = somepassword
|
I'm planning on installing MS services for Unix on our fileserver to see if that helps, but I would still like to know if I'm heading in the right direction. Any help is greatly appreciated! |

you want to use the "uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755"
The important thing is that UID and GID are set to the proper numbers for the user that should own that home directory.
To get these from a shell script,
| Code: | UID=`id -u username`
GID=`id -g username` |
Also, it sounds like you are using *one* mount that will include all the users. Permissions can get a bit messy with this sort of thing.
If you are using winbind, I think it may assign UID's and maybe that will be used to compare against Windows ACL's. I've never used winbind with services for Unix.
In that case, you should play with file_mode,dir_mode (maybe 0000 or 0777 or 0700, depending on how ACL's work) and then the server may handle the ACL's (sadly they will be handled as the Administrator user you specified).
It sounds like if you have services for unix, and UID's match, then the ACLs (look at the getfacl program) on the server will determine the users who can access the file
Anyway good luck getting this monster working. |
