100Allowing User Unmounts
101======================
102To permit users to ummount directories that they have user mounted (see above),
103the utility umount.cifs may be used. It may be invoked directly, or if
104umount.cifs is placed in /sbin, umount -i can invoke the cifs umount helper
105(at least for most versions of the umount utility) for umount of cifs
106mounts. As with mount.cifs, to enable user unmounts umount.cifs must be marked
107as suid (e.g. "chmod +s /sbin/umount.cifs"). For this utility to succeed
108the target path must be a cifs mount, and the uid of the current user must
109match the uid of the user who mounted the resource.
110
111Also note that the customary way of allowing user mounts and unmounts is
112(instead of using mount.cifs and unmount.cifs as suid) to add a line
113to the file /etc/fstab for each //server/share you wish to mount, but
114this can become unwieldy when potential mount targets include many
115or unpredictable UNC names.
