add mount command to all users in sudoers file
 

hi all,

i want to add all users to have the access to use the mount command ie atm when a user trys to use the mount command they get this -

[robw@robw-linux ~]$ mount -t cifs -o username=robertw //molfiler03/Public /mnt/Public/

mount: only root can do that

[robw@robw-linux ~]$

but obviously when i su into root i can mount it no problems

so can i use a variable ie like this in my sudoers file on a new line -

$USER ALL=/sbin/mount /sbin/umount

will this work for all the users on the system

many thanks

rob

Your command is wrong. You forgot to use 'sudo' in front of the command.

success!!!

add this to your fstab as root -

//molfiler03/Public /mnt/Public cifs user,username=robertw 0 0

now any user can mount this share by typing this command

mount /mnt/Public/

it will ask for the password for robertw as i havnt included the password paramenter aswell

the special paramenter is user, this means any user can mount this share, but only this share mind you
