I haven't actually tried it with an smb share. Cool.
I just found it by accident - I really wanted it all mounted at boot just like nfs but really didn't want the passwd visible to all and sundry so was considering a tricky little script that runs at the end booting to mount it, supply the username,passwd etc etc etc but just as a temporary thing chucked it in the fstab and then noticed the passwd was hidden automatically, which I'm sure didn't used to happen under an older system I had. So yeah pretty cool. Dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
