Subject: RE: [SLE] Using remote smb share via fstab?
It sure is. Make sure ya have appropriate SMB stuff installed. Mount line
in fstab should look something like.
machinename:/sharename -t smb defaults 0 0
This will mount the share with the default settings supplied by the Win98
box. It may ask for a password in which case ya can use:
machinename:/sharename -t smb username=xxxx,password=xxxxx 0 0
Which will mount the share and send the appropriate info to the win98 box.
Ya may note actually need the username part, I don't remember. Please note
though, this file is stored clear text and the passwords are sent
unencrypted. It >MIGHT< be possible for someone to grab the password as it
travels over the wire. If they were really bored.....

Subject: [SLE] Using remote smb share via fstab?
<p><p>I have a short question (actually two questions):
Is it possible to make an entry in /etc/fstab, so that
I can have my roommates Win98 shares mounted automatically?
If it is, what should the entry look like?
I tried looking at the manpages for:
- fstab
- mount
- smbmount
- smbmnt
without getting any useful hints.
Regards
Ole
