Ok, I responded earlier, but the actual line that I used for the shared
fstab mount is (all on a single line of course):
//server/J$/Music\040A-F
<tab>/media/Music-AF
<tab>cifs
<tab>nosuid,noexec,
credentials=/etc/samba/auth.smb,
uid=500,gid=500,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0755
<tab>0 0
Since I wanted the mount to appear on my desktop, I omitted the nodev
option.
The /etc/samba/auth.smb file contains text:
username=<username>
password=<password>
Cheers,
Dan
