Hello I set samba to use kerberos password backend (without ldap) use kerberos keytab = yes security = user realm = DOM.COM encrypt passwords = yes unix password sync = no And generally it works ... when (on the linux client) I put kinit and type the password and then smbclient -k //smbserv/files I am logged in and I can see the files But I would like to mount it automatically (for ex. in /etc/fstab) so how to do it? In usual samba without kerberos I can write password and username in mount options - but it is different situation. And next question - what if I would like to use windows client? thanks for any help MarO
