The Gentoo-ebuild of smb4k installs smb4k_kill, smb4k_mount and smb4k_umount in /usr/kde/3.5/bin/ but the configuration dialog makes the following changes to /etc/sudoers: SMB4KUSERS hostname = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/smb4k_kill SMB4KUSERS hostname = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/smb4k_umount SMB4KUSERS hostname = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/smb4k_mount This results in the following: No error message when trying to mount a share - but actually nothing is mounted. After correcting /etc/sudoers it worked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install smb4k 2. configure for superuser in administrator settings 3. try to mount a share Actual Results: Entries in /etc/sudoers are wrong. So calling smb4_mount fails. Expected Results: should have made the correct entry in /etc/sudoers or should have a symlink in /usr/bin Because there is no error report nowhere it took me quite some precious to figure this out. The ebuild could at least write a message about it (even if this is considered to be an upstream bug) emerge --info: Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.28-gentoo-r5-i686-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_E8200_@_2.66GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:15:01 +0000 distcc 3.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.8-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r3 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -mmmx -msse -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -mmmx -msse -fomit-frame-pointer" FEATURES="buildpkg distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo " LANG="de_DE.utf8" LC_ALL="de_DE.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="7zip X a52 aac acpi alsa asf audiofile bash-completion bdf berkdb bindist binfilter bitmap-fonts blas bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdf cdr cli cpudetectiondga cracklib crypt css cups curl dbus dga divx4linux dlloader dri dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread effects emboss encode erandom evo exif expat fam fame ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gimpprint glibc-omitfp glut gphoto2 gpm graphviz gs hal iconv idn imagemagick imlib inkjar ipv6 isdnlog ithreads java jpeg jpeg2k kde lcms libnotify live logitech-mouse lzo mad midi mikmod mjpeg mmx mmxext mng mopac7 motif moznocompose moznoirc mozsvg mp3 mpeg mpi mysql ncurses nis nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg openbabel opengl openmp pam patented pcre pdf perl plotutils plugin png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection rtc samba sdl seamonkey session slang speex spell spl ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcl tcpd theora threads tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode urandom usb userlocales v4l v4l2 vcd vidix vorbis win32codecs wma wmf x264 x86 xine xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid xvmc yv12 zlib" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0 via82xx hda_intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia fbdev radeon nv vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Thanks for your report and analysis of this problem -- assigning to kde team. I'm pretty sure they won't just write this off as an upstream bug ;)
This is fixed by smb4k-0.10.4 because binaries are installed into /usr/bin. Thanks for reporting.
