I use credentials=~/.netcred chown'ed 0600 to root.root. .netcred contains: username=xxxx password=xxxx so I have an fstab line like //server/share$ /mnt/t1 smbfs rw,credentials=~/.netcred 0 0 since the /etc/fstab is (usually) readble by world, this would not be a good place for putting passwords! (note to OP). And I hide any shares on MS boxes with $ at the end.. superficial security, but stops other winclients seeing shares they shouldn't. Groetjes....j --
