Mount samba share read-only in NetInfo Manager

[thebeast]

Hi all

 

My "Mac" is running great on 10.4.8. I have a Samba share containing some music automounted using NetInfo Manager, this works no problem. This is done under the mounts section in NetInfo Manager using the following properties:

 

name debian:/music

dir /mnt/music

vfstype url

opts url==smb://username:pass@debian/music

 

However due to a bug in the FLAC implementation of Amarok (it might actually be the Xine lib, not sure) the share needs to be read-only otherwise the tags cannot be read. Weird I know but that's the way it is... changing permissions on the server doesn't work. I can do this on the command line using:

 

sudo mount -t smbfs -o -f=440,-d=550,-u=501,-g=501 //username:password@debian/music /mnt/music

 

But obviously this is tedious to perform every time I boot.

 

Is it possible to add the read-only property to NetInfo Manager automount, or indeed can I add the command line mount somewhere so it will be mounted by root when booting? I know there are the system-wide terminal scripts etc I want this to be mounted when the OS starts, not just in a terminal, and it needs to be run as root. If only Mac used fstab we wouldn't need to mess around trying to do things that are trivial in BSD

 

Other than this, and a few other small issues, OS X is great
