Hello,

I'm running RHEL 4.0 and my wm is Gnomre. I'm able to mount windows shared drives like this:

mount -t smbfs -o username=MYDOMAIN\\myusername //SomeWindowsBox/shareddir /home/myid/mnt/SomeWindowsBox

After a bit it queries me for my password and I'm all set. I'm trying to figure out how to make this happen automatically when I boot (preferably) without storing my network password in clear text. Ideally, after I boot, a window will pop up asking me to authenticate (or cancel if I happen not to be on the network containing the shares) and then the drives will be mounted automatically. I'm sure there is a way to do this but I can't seem to find it and I'm really, really, tired of issuing that command over and over again Any thoughts?

For automatic mounts, you'd have to add them to your fstab file.. or you can add them and setup autofs, when you cd into the share, it automounts it for you and then you'd probably get a prompt for the password.. though, thru the fstab mount, don't think there's a way to hide your password.
