Re: sudoers

Hi,

Your command (sudo mount -t cifs ...) works running as root.
Problem is that I need to run it from PHP and in this way, it doesn't mount.

I have the ownership and permissions of the mount point set correctly.

As it is a dynamic application, the mount point always changes
(/mnt/user1, /mnt/user2, etc.), so, /etc/fstab is not an option :(

Any ideas ?

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
