Well I do a similar thing for one of my customers machines. I mount a samba share (from SLES 9) onto a subdirectory of his personal directory. It happens automatically at boot time. We want the samba server to handle permissions on its end and hence we use the noperms parameter. Without that the local linux machine attempts to manage permissions on the samba server. (Shades of nfs all over again). This line appears in /etc/fstab on the workstation, mounting a share on the machine named hai (sorry, this is bound to wrap): //hai/data /home/benh/data cifs auto,user,uid=1000,gid=1003,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,ip=192.168.0.1,noacl,noperm,nocase,credentials=/home/benh/benscreds 1 2 If for some reason he unmounts that and has to remount it without a re-boot, the "user" parameter is given in fstab, and with kde, you can ask for an icon on the desktop to mount/unmount that drive (Configure Desktop /desktop/behavior/Device Icons/mounted+Unmounted samba shares) If there are some you don't want mounted automatically just remove the "auto" parameter. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
