Users use debian with gnome/gdm in the different machine and need to mount the share everytime they log in. Create a directory for mounting user share. Then create a file with 0700 for everyuser place in a save place : #!/bin/bash smbmount //serveraddress/sharedfolder /pathtomountingpoint -o username=whatever,password=pwd; exit 0; add these line to $HOME/user/.bashrc :
if [ -f PATHTOSCRIPTFILE ]; then . PATHTOSCRIPTFILE; fi that's all. 2. Users use windows : Create a batch file with these lines and place it in a very safe place. @echo off net use Z: \\serveraddress\sharedfolder /user:username password you can modify the drive letter to suit your need. open regedit ( Start->Run->Regedit ) browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run create a String value give the unique name and modify its content "PATHTOBATCHFILE" Or just place the file into user's Startup folder. cheers, mslinuz Send instant messages to your online friends http://asia.messenger.yahoo.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
