Autofs question (try 2)

Autofs question (try 2)

[Robin Rosenberg]

Hi,

The first message was cut short, sorry

I grabbed the auto.smb script for mounting samba/windows shares. One of the flaws is that I'd
like to get around is that it must be configured as root and most importantly that I don't see who 
is requesting the mount. I was thinking along the line of mounting shares in /cifs/$USER/servers/share
or simply mounting the share for the first user using the mount point (essentially single user machines
anyway).

the auto.smb script is running as root and I printed some info in root.c at the revalidate

Jan 12 18:49:06 h6n2fls33o811 kernel: autofs4_root_revalidate, uid=505 name=10.1.1.4
Jan 12 18:49:06 h6n2fls33o811 automount[22233]: attempting to mount entry /cifs/10.1.1.4
Jan 12 18:49:06 h6n2fls33o811 kernel: autofs4_root_revalidate, uid=0 name=10.1.1.4
Jan 12 18:49:06 h6n2fls33o811 logger: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) grupper=0(root)
Jan 12 18:49:07 h6n2fls33o811 kernel: autofs4_root_revalidate, uid=0 name=10.1.1.4
Jan 12 18:49:08 h6n2fls33o811 last message repeated 10 times
and lots more from mounting with uid=0

Is there any simple way of passing the first uid to the automounter?

The place for this is on the autofs list.

http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs

Short answer to your question is I don't think so. At least at the moment. 
I would have to check it out.

What version of autofs are you using?

Ok, i'll report the question there. It is version 4.0.0 (Mandrake Cooker) in userland 
and whatever is in the 2.6.1 vanilla kernel.
