user mode mount question

[George]

Hi,

Is there a solution to mount a winnt network share in user mode
that is not to use standard 'mount -t smbfs' command.

The problem is that I have no permission to use standard 'mount -t smbfs'.

Or maybe there is a plugin for 'mc' that can be used with winnt share as if
it was mounted fs.

Thanks
George

Generally, the vfs.usermount sysctl allows ordinary users to mount file
systems.

However, this currently doesn't work with smbfs. See this thread on the
freebsd-current mailing list:

So, for the time being I'd suggest using sudo (ports/security/sudo).
