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