(In reply to Antons Svedkijs from comment #0) > Does not make any sense to ask for root-privilege, because this tool runs in > user space, otherwise there is no difference in mounting over fstab or smb4k > (just GUI/console). The "tool" runs in user space, yes. But mounting a share still requires root privileges. You cannot mount random stuff as user, only things that are explicitely listed in fstab with the "user" mount option. > --- Possible fix --- > > Add to /etc/polkit-default-privs.local following lines: > > de.berlios.smb4k.mounthelper.mount auth_admin:auth_admin:yes > de.berlios.smb4k.mounthelper.unmount auth_admin:auth_admin:yes Yes, we know that. And you can easily do that on your system, /etc/polkit-default-privs.local is intended for local changes as the name indicates... ;) But, for modifying openSUSE's default privileges accordingly to not require the root password, the security team has to approve that change. See also bug#749065, which unfortunately hasn't seen any action since 3 years. Or for the latest smb4k, see bug#915714. PS, if you install smb4k from KDE:Extra, no local change is necessary for passwordless mount. ;) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 749065 *** |
