Hey folks!  My first post to the echo so here goes...

Is it just me or did they put automount "back into" Mandrake 8.2 by
default?  I know 8.1 had it disabled by default.

[Petre Bandac]

speaking of mandrake, today I had to configure one mandrake box while its 
administrator was away... and the options I had at boot-time were linux, 
failsafe and another option - all in a graphic screen ... couldn't do the 
good-old "linux init=/bin/sh" ... so I had to call the man and ask for his 
password

slack has "linux init=/bin/sh", rh has "linux single", what about mdk ?!

automount

[Jörg Fichter]

Dear Sirs,

I've installed the automount system on my PC. Different user works on this 
terminal! So I modified the auto.master file like this:

/misc	/etc/auto.misc		user, exec, uid=700, gid=500

But all user who were logged in and automount a filesystem, will always have 
the username like 700 and the groupname like 500 on this mount point.

How can I modify auto.master and auto.misc to get the right username and 
groupname for each logged user?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely

Jörg Fichter

Can't at the moment.

The user option is only supported by mount when present in the fstab.

I posted a message to the util-linux list but haven't followed up on this. 
I've been to busy.

In any case the user option allows a user to mount/umount the filesystem 
which is not applicable to automount as all mounts are caried out as root.

Hello,

You could instead use sudo to unmount the filesystems as necessary.
An entry in the sudoers file such as:

<useralias> <hostalias> = <password options>:/bin/umount -t nfs /misc/*

Will allow the users in question to run:
	sudo /bin/umount -t nfs /misc/tempfs

And of course, it will fail if the filesystem's in use.

In my mind, this may be a better place to implement commands requiring root.
