In ~/.profile I'm using several commands like
mount -t smbfs //server/share ~/share -o credentials=~/.credentials
to mount various Windows network shares when a user logs on.
Question 1: ~/.credentials contains the username and password because I can't find a way of getting the logon password. Is there a solution to this?
Question 2: Since I'm mounting the network shares when the user logs on, should I umount them before he/she logs off, and if so, how can I do this automatically?
Cheers,
