I actually tried both. The reaction is the same (may be synonims?). As soon as I specify it, codepage= and iocharset= parameters are no longer recognized and an error message starts to appear in the /var/log/messages saying that "noexec" parameter is not recognized by smbfs (Jan 9 15:24:09 NS kernel: smbfs: Unrecognized mount option noexec). This is actually not a big issue as I could write a script with "sudo mount /my/mountpoint". And I probably can exclude this line from my fstab and specify the parameters in this script. This just does not look very user-friendly to me (ok for my single-user laptop). It appears that I cannot use fstab with smbfs volumes if I want international characters.not remember which one - found its name in one of FAQs) and specified....
username=administrator,password=xxx,fmask=0666,codepage=cp866,iocharset=utf8,usersAre you sure it's "users" and not "user" ?
Thanks!Any ideas if it is possible to fix this? I can "sudo mount" all the timeAnd what's wrong with smbmount ?
but it does not sound right...
smbmount //server/share /your/mountpoint -o username=<uname>,iocharset=utf8,codepage=cp866
Works like a charm as long as /usr/sbin/smbmnt is suid-root
