Or you can use smbfs to mount the shares at boot time with entries in /etc/samba/smbfs like:
//server/share /media/<mount point> username=xxxx%xxxx,uid=<username>,gid=<group name>
all on one line.
Except that the mount -t smbfs command never worked. i assumed that if mount -t smbfs didn't work, then it wouldn't work to put stuff in /etc/samba/smbfs. Most of the messages I read indicated that people couldn't get smbfs to work. I would certainly prefer to mount the shares at boot time like you suggest.

Exactly why I use smbfs. If I try to mount manually using mount -t smbfs it always fails.

I normally use something like the following: //boxname/sharename /home/user/mountpoint smbfs user,uid=username,gid=groupname, password="password" 0 0 Unless the firewall settings put the kibosh on it, it works. HTH... ...CH
