Extremely useful for most installations. Where did you find it?
I know some folks are worried about the clear text password issue but if someone who has root on their system isn't suppoed to be reading the fstab file, then they much bigger problems... :-) For the folks who win users have their passwords changed at "frequent" intervals their is a way to authenticate samba access through authentication facilities on the Linux box. At least one of these is, I believe, LDAP based and the others are PAM based. (AFAIK). Those techniques would be useful for environments which do force password changes. -- Jeff Kinz, Open-PC, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. [EMAIL PROTECTED] copyright 2003. Use is restricted.
