/PERSISTENT:YES will save the connections, but it won't save the password,
so you'll be prompted for a password (and a username, I think) each time
you logon to Windows.  You may be able to use /SAVECRED, but MSDN is
unclear on exactly what that does, and it may not work in Windows prior to
XP.

You should be able to add /PERSISTENT:YES to "net use" to have it
automatically happen at each login.  Or maybe that means something else,
I've not tried it.

Simpler yet:

net use '\\host\share' /USER:username password
mount //host/share /path/foo/bar

(no need to use up the drive letter).
One more thing to mention is that Cygwin mounts are persistent, so the
second command need only be issued once.  The first will need to be
re-issued on every logon, I think.

mount permissions?

2006-06-14 Thread Richard Foulk
Aloha,

Linux mount(1) supports something like this:

smbmount //host/share /mnt -o username name%password


This lets you specify the Windows user and password for the mount.

Is there any way to do this with Cygwin's mount?


Thanks

Richard
