I have a tangential question based upon your response about the credentials file. I have set up a smbmount to happen on boot in /etc/fstab, but am looking for a good way to not be prompted for the password, and not have the password in plaintext in /etc/fstab, or in a credentials file. Do you know how I can acheive this? Thanks for the help. Michael

You mean smbmount? pam_mount will mount things at login time. But that's the full extent of my knowledge on it. > I s this possible.

If it's only for one user you can create an autofs mount that mounts the //server/share when you access it, without asking for password if you give it one in the cfg file (or in a separate file using the credentials option). /Urban PS: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' doesn't look like a vaild email address. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
