hi cheng, well, there is an option (see smbmount) for an external credential file. is this an nt/2000/xp box or 95/98/me?

Hi, Christopher Thanks. but the plain text passwd is really a concern and also the user's passwd will change periodically on the win sys. it is a quite large org, and the internal security is also an issue. cheng -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of christopher cuse Sent: 28 March 2003 12:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: mount win shares to Linux automatically - possible? hi cheng you can mount remote windows shares provided that you have installed samba. once installed, try a line similar to this in your /etc/fstab file //drs1/c$ /mnt/caca smbfs password=mypassword,username=ccuse 0 0 where drs1 is the netbios name of the windows box, c$ is the share name, and username and password accordingly. cheers christopher cuse -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Zhi Cheng Wang Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 1:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: mount win shares to Linux automatically - possible? thanks for the suggestion, but I am talking about remote files, I am not that new. cheng -----Original Message----- From: winglion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 March 2003 12:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: mount win shares to Linux automatically - possible? It is very easy to do that! example : at this live to your fstab : mount -t vfat -o codepage=936,iocharset=cp936 /dev/hda5 /mnt/d this line tell linux to mount the hda5 (which is the D: in M$window) The option next to -o tell linux to support chinese charset filename! Actually,I am a newbe to linux too! Yet,I think you should search for answer on google or some other engines before you sent a mail here! So many knowledges we can find on the internet!:-) >Hi, Gurus > >Is it possible to define something in the /etc/fstab file so that a windows share can be mounted to Linux box automatically when sys reboot?

For the Linux users, they want to be able to access windows files within Linux (the other way around is easier to accomplish using samba).
