smbfs share, sd card, mounting question

[Pär Lidén]

Hmm, what do you mean with auto mount? do you mean that as soon that you are
connected to your home network, a share of  some others of your computers at
home should be mounted? I think that is pretty difficult to do. You might be
able to do it with new Upstart (http://upstart.ubuntu.com/). Then you'd have
to create some kind of job descriptions. But probably it does not even have
this functionality yet, you'd have to wait till ubuntu 8.10 at least, I
would guess.

Or do you want that network share to automount at boot? That could be
accomplished by typing the share /etc/fstab.

What does your fstab look like, could send it?

In this line (taken from my own fstab), the user keyword means that normal
users can mount /umount it. Maybe you can try adding that?
/dev/cdrom        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
