sudoers

Hi,

I need to run /bin/mount and /sbin/mount.cifs commands as nobody user
(it has (bin/bash shell).

So, I've edited /etc/sudoers and added:

Cmnd_Alias CMD_MOUNT =3D /bin/mount
Cmnd_Alias CMD_CIFS ) =3D /sbin/mount.cifs

nobody ALL =3D NOPASSWD: CMD_MOUNT
nobody ALL =3D NOPASSWD: CMD_CIFS

But when I run the command as nobody (in the shell), I get the error:
"mount error 1 =3D Operation not permitted"

Any ideas ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
M=E1rio Gamito

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 m=
ount.

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 ?

Error, sending to the list, I resend message for everybody :

-----

Does mount point have nobody user/group permission ?

sudo chown -R nobody:nobody /path/to/mount/point
sudo mount -t cifs ...

It is also possible to do that with user option directly in fstab which=
=20
will not use root privileges to mount your fs.
