[Samba] Public share ask for a password

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

 

I suggest NOT to use fstab but systemd startups if you on debian jessie. 

 

Get to know systemd and if you do i’ll bet you like it. 

I know only on that hates it.. dont you Rowland. ;-) 

 

Have look here for a good example for mount and automount. 

http://michlstechblog.info/blog/systemd-mount-examples-for-cifs-shares/

and if you do need fstab, that example shows what your missing. 

 

I used that link also for my NFSv4 Kerberos automounts as example. 

And i can say works great.

 

Greetz, 

 

Louis
