    Hi everybody

    At our university, I can mount a smb directory at our computing centre
    by giving my username and password. I have in my /etc/fstab:

    //myusername.files.uni-freiburg.de/windows /home/jorg/files
    smb username=myusername,user,noauto,rw 0 0

    When I type "mount files/" in my home directory, I am asked to give my
    password, and then I can read/write to the network dir without problems.
    The problem comes when I want to umount the directory:

    umount files/
    umount: only root can unmount //myusername.files.uni-freiburg.de/windows
    from /home/jorg/files

    Can anybody tell my why, and how to fix it? I'd like to umount this dir
    as normal user.

    Thanks,
    joerg
