hi ya michael
to put passwds into a file is a bad idea...
- you can use sudo to not require passwd for certain root functions
such as mount ... but that too is equally bad ???
- if you use an automounter, it needs the passwd too but at least
the world cant see the file contents used by autofs/amd
- pick the better of the two evils you dont like
- i prefer to disallow linux from mounting windows ...
(
( a server should NEVER mount a client !!!! especially if the
( MS machines is piloted by non-techies that cant be scolded
( for screwing up the network
(
( windows clients should mount linux home dir stuff via samba
(
