Somehow off-original-topic: I have defined SMB share mounts in my /etc/fstab, in the following manner:
//<server IP address>/<my_share>$ /home/<username>/homedrive smb noauto,user,username=<username>,workgroup=<domain_name> 0 0 and I can easily mount them from the home directory, at a console: <username>@machine username$ mount homedrive being - then - asked for password. How can I make kdf ask me for a password, also, to be able to use it as suggested for other (CD) mounts? I have tried multiple options in the "Get mount command", but to no avail. I would like to avoid having to save the password in /etc/fstab, of course :) Thx, Stef ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [expert] Why my CD does not want to get out ?

Ah! supermount disable, then kwikdisk runs from an icon in the systray! Nice tool! But it is best set up in rc.local to run in the background. IMHO it should be set up as a ksysv service. There in no menu item, and no 'man kwikdisk' either. -- Ron. [Melbourne, Australia] troels... now updated to use ftp.sunet.se server.
