It is possible to mount smbfs from fstab. From your line i see that you
have a ":" to much and some of the "/" changed to "\". The line should
look like this:
\\ipaddres/dirname /dirname smbfs username=testid,password=testpw 0 0
And ofcourse, if you want it to automount at boot you change the last 0
to 1.
Here are two correct mount commands. Note that cifs is the successor to
smbfs:
mount.cifs \\\\coco\\profile /mnt/coco/ --verbose -o
user=administrator,password=**********,ip=10.0.0.253,domain=class.corridors
mount -t cifs \\\\coco\\software /mnt/coco.software --verbose -o
user=administrator,password=**********,ip=10.0.0.253,domain=class.corridors
This works too:
mount.cifs //coco/profile /mnt/coco/ -o
user=administrator,password=**********,ip=10.0.0.253,domain=class.corridors
The arguments on the mount commands here should appear in fstab if
that's what you are using.
The credentials can be picked up from a file, so as to maintain
confidentiality.
Mostly, I prefer to not use backslashes so as to avoid hassles with
programs that think they should be escaped and so reduce two to one,
potentially several times.
Note, on SLES10 (and probably 9) you should be specifying cifs, not
smbfs; smbfs hasn't been maintained for some time.

Can smbfs be mounted from /etc/fstab ? I can issue the cmd "mount -f
smbfs //ipaddress/dirname /dirname username=testid,password=testpw" and
get the smbfs mounted but I can't get this mounted by adding a line in
the /etc/fstab . The format in the /etc/fstab is more like -->
//ipadress:/dirname /dirname smbfs ro,username=testid,password=testpw 0
0 Is this possible from /etc/fstab or do I need to do this from somewhere
else ? This is SUSE SLES10.
Thanks,
Mark
