I have not been following this thread TOO closely, as it got far to wordy far to quickly.. I am running a combined windows/linux network at my office, where some of the linux users have to access the SMB shares (as it's easier to do that then set up NFS clients on the windows machines). I was faced with the same problem that you have and found a nice little utility called pam_mount. It has two config files, global (for the box) and local (for the individual). You can set up all the mount points you may desire (not limited to smb). The username/password is obtained at the time the user log's in to the machine (either at the console or via GDM). No username/passwords need to be stored any where on the local machine. Not as nice as "Network Neighbourhood" in windows, but a hell of a lot better then then the GNOME solution :( Doug On Mon, 2004-03-01 at 14:47, Adam Voigt wrote: > So I still have to store the persons network username and password on > the machine huh? > > On Fri, 2004-02-27 at 17:18, thedogfarted wrote: > > > > smbmount doesn't require root access.
