You may want to try like this: /machinename/sharename /mnt/sharename smbfs auto,user,rw,iocharset=utf8,uid=500,gid=500,fmask=775, dmask=775,credentials=/home/ian/.smbpasswd 0 0 This is how i got to mount, at boot time of course, a share over a Apple server. Trust me, it is probably the most annoying thing you might want to play with for smb shares. I find 'credentials' quite helpful. A hidden file, in your home dir, that contains your username and password. Should they change, no need to change fstab (can be quite long sometimes). Moreover, fstab no longer contains you username and password in plain text. AS to the rest of options, wiht those i can read and write over all my shares. Some of those are not really mandatory, though, for NT based shares. Hope i gave you some hints on where to look at. E.
