If you do need valid authentication and don't want to put the username and password in /etc/fstab, create a file somewhere (for example /etc/winserver, with appropriate permissions) with the following content: username = [windows username] password = [windows password] Then replace the username=,password= stuff from /etc/fstab with credentials=/etc/winserver, as such: //10.32.32.1/mp3 /usr/share/music smb credentials=/etc/winserver,rw,auto 0 0 HTH, des. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
