Don't know if i understand what you mean, but here is how i usually do: //machinename/sharename /mnt/sharename smbfs noauto,owner,rw,credentials=/home/ian/.smb 0 0 As you can see also as hint in some samba documentation or reading archives, the hidden files .smb (or whateer the name) simply contains your username and password. Should be just a little more secure, as it is in your home and not in /etc. E.
