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..... <p>-----Original Message----- From: Ole Kofoed Hansen [mailto:okh-linux@post.cybercity.dk] Sent: Sunday, December 03, 2000 12:04 AM To: SuSE Linux mailing list 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.
