hey,
If your shares are static then you can add entries in /etc/fstab for these
shares
for example
//server/backup (windows machine) /mnt/backup(linux mount
point) cifs
credentails=/etc/.smb,uid=xx,gid=xxx 0 0
credentials=filename
specifies a file that contains a username and/or password.
The
format of the file is:
username=value username=ankush
password=value password=ankush
This is preferred over having passwords in plaintext in
a
shared file, such as /etc/fstab. Be sure to protect any
creden-
tials file properly.
Make sure /etc/.smb is 600 or 400
for more information regarding cifs "man mount.cifs"
