We are automounting a Win2K volume into our FTP running RH 7.2. This is the entry I manually put into /etc/fstab (anonymized):
//server/share /var/ftp-home/mountdir smbfs defaults,username=*user*,password=*pwd,uid=*uid,gid=*gid* 0 0 A couple of notes: - the "mountdir" must exist on your Linux box - the user account must exist on your Linux box - you shouldn't give the user account too much rights since login and password are cleartext in /etc/fstab. Anyone a better solution?
