How to Map windows 2003 shared folders in Linux.

[Burke, Thomas G.]

I use (2)...  I loathe putting a clear-textp assword in a world-readable file...  I have a script that puts in all the switches except the password & when I run it, smbmont asks for the password.

I've done it in 2 ways: 

1.  Create an entry in your /etc/fstab using something like.... 

//misty2/USB-B          /home/myhome/misty2/USB-B smbfs 
noauto,user,rw,username=egreshko,password=whatever,uid=myuid,gid=mygid 0 0 

Where misty2=windowsname 
       USB-B=sharename 

Then just issue the mount command. 

2.  Use the smbmount command.
