A bash script that hits "ENTER"?

Hi,
smbclient -L <ip address> prompts for a password or you can just hit "ENTER" to list the available shared files and printers.

I am writing a script to do it automatically. However, when I execute the script I am still prompted for a password. How can I get the script to automatically hit "ENTER".

OR

Is it possible to have smbclient access a credentials file for user name and password?

Sounds like you want the -N option http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/...bclient.1.html

Yea! That did it.

Quote:

smbclient -L <ip address> -N

Thanks

edit
This was what I was looking for. I think it is a better option to use the smb username and password in a credential file with 400 permission.

Code:

smbclient -L <ip address> -A /path/to/credential/file

You will then need to create a credential file:

Code:

username = <value>

password = <value>

domain  = <value>
