samba - Sep 2002 - Samba and the Mount Command

Hi All,

I would like to to  know how to, using rc.local in the /etc/rc.d 
directory, automate a smbmount with a specific username upon bootup.

In this case because I can't find any examples and I am not a very 
strong linux user, I have posted all the relevant info.

The server name is ITV_SERVER and has been added to the "hosts" file. 
The IP address for this Server is 192.168.36.6 and this server is an 
NT4.0 Server (PDC).
The shares are as follows : APPS, DATA, CLIENTS, DOCUMENTS, SCRATCH, PDFS,

I would like to use the mount command with the following username and 
password

Username : root
password : athens

I would like to use mount to mount the APPS, DATA and SCRATCH.

How would I go about accomplishing this ?

Thanks
Lloyd

The command for mounting a share is:
mount -t smbfs -o username=USER,password=PASS //server/share /mnt/point

Or you can add an entry in /etc/fstab like this:

//server/share /mnt/point  smbfs   username=USER,password=PASS 0 0

type this to test:
# mount /mnt/point

hope this helps.

You can type man mount for the full help.
