Samba Client Question


First off, I'm new to Suse and Yast, so maybe the solutions can be found there somewhere.

I have a share on another machine that I would like have smb mounted, and I would like to have it automatically mount when I boot up, and I would like the user to have read write access to it without invoking root. I've found Samba Server in Yast and have it running on boot now, but I could not figure out how to smb mount an external share.

In old versions of Mandrake, I could add a line like the one below to /etc/rc.d/rc.local -

smbmount //server/sharename /mnt/folder -o username=username,password=password,fmask=777,dmask=777

Since Suse doesn't seem to have an rc.local file, I don't know where I would add such a command, but I would prefer to do it through Yast anyway, just haven't figured out how yet. I have been able to export the share from the other machine as NFS and mount it with NFS in Yast, but I want to use Samba if anyone can tell me where to configure samba mounts.

Thanks in advance for any assistance...

Mike
