Well, this is not really what Im after. I want to tell smbmount to use my current logged-in linux username and password to login to shares. So aslong as I keep my local password synced with the windows network password all is well. The KDE control panel helps alot - I use it at the moment - It just needs a check box saying - "Use local login credentials". At fail it should come up with login dialog.
You can use a credentials file with the mount command. This file must contain the user's windows password for the share. If the windows password changes, this credentials file must be updated. That is not so nice.
I have had my linux machine join an active directory. Next on my list is to see if I can get shares to mount (as you also want) if the user logs in to the linux machine using his Windows user name and password. I seem to recall reading something on this list a while back about trying to make this work. It involved pam_mount that controls mounting thing when a user logs in. Beyond that, I have nothing to tell. I long for a free day to sort this out. But those are few on the ground...
So, hunt for into on pam_mount and CIFS. Maybe there is something there.
The credentials file (as you said) is a pain to update constantly and more suited for use in the fstab as described in the man pages. Active Dir is ok, if you have one - but its just strange to me that something like AD is "builtin", but not something simple like "Use local login for CIFS shares"? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
