Well, nothing is newbie if you've not done it before. If you want to mount from the command line, you can use the following options:
Quote:
|
mount -t cifs //Hostname/Username -o username=username,password=password /local/mountpoint
|
or
Quote:
|
smbmount //Hostname/Username /local/mountpoint -o lfs,username=username,password=password
|
However, if you are looking to mount from the fstab, you'll want to do this:
Quote:
|
hosthame_or_ip:/mnt/pth/folder /mnt/location/folder smbfs username=uname,password=passwd 0 0
|
That should do it. However, when I'm doing NAS mounts via the fstab, I mount via NFS and use host exports for authentication, no password or username required. Point is, I'm freehanding the last quoted entry, so YMMV and it might require some tweaks.
HTH,
I have a webserver, and they have a remote NAS service that I just subscribed to. They gave me an SMB path of \1.2.3.4\share, along with a login/pw.
