Automounting a samba share at bootup

stodge · 02-15-2002, 11:49 PM

Is there a way to configure Mandrake to automount a samba share from a server, without specifying a password and username in a script file. For example, I modified rc.local to perform smbmount, but I have to specify all of the parameters, including the username and password, which obviously isn't good.

Thanks

if you set attributes correctly you shouldn't need to worry about plain text passwords.

in /etc/fstab:

//server/share /mnt/somewhere smbfs user=name,password=xxxx
