[Rick's samba advice]

I would like to mount it automatically.
So, is it possible to put those lines into /etc/fstab as follows ?

//server/share /mountpoint cifs user=workgroup/username%password 0 0

of course, but following up on Rick's point:
/etc/fstab is readable by all.

I would do this instead:

//server/share /mountpoint cifs
domain=workgroup,credentials=/root/samba.cred 0 0

and in the /root/samba.cred file you would have
username=bob
password=password

or something like that.

Humm, yes I see. Also that for more than one share, which may have different
usernames & passwords, one would need a samba.cred per share. Probably best
to rename that to the shares alias in the hosts file, in my case shop.cred

This file does not have to be in /root, but it should be readable only
by root.
