The only trick is you need to do as root is : chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt I set myself as the owner of /mnt/public and the .credentials file is : ---start--- username = winuser password = winpass ---end--- Doing it this way you don't have to copy files to your hard drive to open them. Hope this helps.
