If you have a /etc/hosts file set up with nicknames defined, you can access it via the
nickname and not have to know the IP address. For example, if your /etc/hosts file
contains an entry
192.67.218.21 lx-inca.test.boeing.com lxinca
then you can do the mount of a share called "patches" by specifying
mount -t smbfs //lxinca/patches /mnt/patches -o
username=aaaaa,password=bbbbb
They say there are three signs of stress in your life. You eat too much junk food,
you drive too fast and you veg out in front of the TV. Who are they kidding? That
sounds like a perfect day to me!
