[Samba] Mounting Share at Boot

[Simeonidis, Steve]

I've got the following in my /etc/fstab file


//abinidi/common        /abinidi/common         smbfs   
uid=500,gid=500,credentials=/etc/smbmount_passwd 0 0

//abinidi/homes         /abinidi/home           smbfs   
uid=500,gid=500,credentials=/etc/smbmount_passwd,rw 0 0

//abinidi/networking    /abinidi/networking     smbfs   
uid=500,gid=500,credentials=/etc/smbmount_passwd,rw 0 0
/d

500 is my user id
/etc.smbmount_passwd is a root rw file with the following
content
username = steves
password = xxxxx

Of course /abinidi/... are local directories

Hope that helps
