I am trying to get access to a home account on another unix host(solaris) to my linux machine. It works pretty well using the smbmount command however i would like to have this occur automagically when I login or perhaps have the system automount this without my having to type in an extra passwd upon logging in. The point is it should not be necessary to have to go beyond merely logging in at which point the samba share should already be there or be automounted upon the logging in action or perhaps when the machine boots. Perhaps smbmount can be told not to prompt for a passwd.
<An Aside> Is there anyway to make samba look into the unix passwd file other than the smbpasswd file. Usually the practice is to run a cronjob and add new userids to the smbpasswd file. Would be nice to have these be one facility for authentication. </An Aside> Hopefully I am making sense. Any thoughts? -walter
