I can mount a windows file share with

Without root privileges - Setup the share in fstab Without storing password - Make the "Everyone" user available with full access in the advanced permissions (sharing) on Windows PC Automatically on login - Setup the share in fstab Yes fstab is a good idea (It does require root to set up, but you saw me use sudo above so know I can do this.). However the solution to stoping someone copying the key, is to remove the lock, is not going to help.

What is your ultimate goal? Maybe you don't want to do a Windows fire share at all, maybe setting up an autossh is the way to do it using keys, or an SFTP deal, more info please.

Usualy I use sshfs, but I need access to a windows cifs file share. We can not give access to everyone so authentication is necessary. I do not want the password stored on the laptop, as a lost laptop will allow access (even if root only readable). With sshfs I store the key encrypted with a passphrase. If I had a solution that needed root privileges I can wrap it in a set uid.

I could be wrong but I think the mount command ALWAYS requires root privileges to run. The best you can do, is to make ~/Files/server-mount/credentials read-only by root and do not share the root password. |
