Hi, On my 5.1 system the example file its in /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc You need to create your own /root/.snmbrc and add the authentication details there. My .nsmbrc file looks like this and it works without asking for password:
[NTSERVER:ADMINISTRATOR] # use persistent password cache for user 'administrator' password=myplaintextpassword And then when I issue the following command as root it doesnt ask for a password mount_smbfs -I 192.168.1.2 //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/docs /mnt Good luck, Marian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joachim Dagerot" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "paul beard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 9:31 PM Subject: Re: How can I automatically mount a windows-xp share from a freeBSDbox using windows usernameandpassword? > ------------------- > | > | On Dec 29, 2003, at 10:58 AM, Joachim Dagerot wrote: > | > | > I know this question has been touched earlier this year, but no > answer > | > came up at that point.
