Here's what I do: set up .smb_pass in each user's home dir cat .smb_pass username=<username> password=<password> use the cifs module (I usually use modconf but $ sudo modprobe -i cifs should do it). and put the following in /etc/fstab (having created the mount point): //server/sharename /mountpoint credentials=/home/cma/.smb_pass,uid=<user>,gid=<group>,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0 Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
