In cases where you don't want to include your secret in the fstab because it might be readable by others than yourself you can do: //serverNameOrIP/sharename /mnt/sharepoint smbfs noauto,user 0 0 you'll also have to ensure the sharepoint is owned by the user mounting it. AND you'll need to run: chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt as the root user. The noauto in the fstab will of course require you to run: mount /mnt/sharepoint everytime you want to mount the drive. In RH9 I simply put a launcher on the desktop with the command 'mount /mnt/sharepoint' and told it to run in a terminal. It's pretty slick when you run it. It opens a terminal to ask for the password and closes it when it's done. It even puts an Icon to the share on your desktop.
