You can also create a credentials file in this format: username=yourusername password=youpass
Then use this in samba: //server/share /media/samba cifs credentials=/path/to/file,uid=1000,gid=100,noperm 0 0 Having a username/password setup on samba is a very good idea as it keeps users out but also authenticates you as a user on the remote system, you can use samba to only give access to certain resources to certain usernames thus making it more secure.
