That works for me as well however I added the options noauto workgroup= and user to the options list.
Then, on the RH 8.0 desktop, I right click, go to "Disks" and select the share I want to mount. On my first install of RH 8.0, when I did this an icon for the share would appear on the desktop. I reinstalled (had to re-partition the disk) and now, no icon appears. How do I enable that icon to appear automatically?
