mount the directories I needed manually.
Hi there,
If I'm understanding correctly that all you want to do is mount the
directories you need automagically then is put the details in /etc/
fstab.
http://preview.tinyurl.com/5vywbm explains how to keep credentials in
a separate file.
Aside from this, I'm afraid I'm not fully grokking what your
intentions are. Merely mounting a couple of Windows file-shares on a
Linux box isn't really integrating it into the AD domain. I have to
admit that in my eagerness to sound knowledgeable I probably wasn't
paying full attention when I read your message prior to replying
yesterday.
In an ideal world users should use their domain username & password
to log on when they sit down at the Linux box. And they should be
mounting the directories they need off the file server by (double-
clicking on a drive icon on their KDE desktop if necessary and) using
their same unique credentials (*not yours!*). If you want to fully
implement this then it's not a two minute job; you shouldn't need
much from the Windows IT admins except the name of the domain and
perhaps the resolvable name of the domain master server - you should
be able to test using your own domain\user:pass
Google is muchly the enemy of your enemy. For your punctuation
question I hope you find this a good starting point:
