Hello!

 

Can someone give me an idea how to automount Windows shares in /mnt so that all users would be able to access them?

 

I have about 3 shares on an XP box, acting as a fileserver, that I would like to have automatically mounted upon bootup.

 

Thanks!

If you have Mandrake you can do it from the MCC (Mandrake control center)

 

It will edit your /etc/fstab file to mount it for you. I run gentoo and set it up manually.

 

Mine looks like this:

 

###Network

//tiger/VOLUME /mnt/VOLUME smbfs username=acdispatcher,password=**** 0 0

//nuclear/TRANS /mnt/TRANS smbfs username=acdispatcher,password=**** 0 0

//vectra/VECTRA /mnt/VECTRA smbfs username=acdispatcher,password=**** 0 0

 

In this case I have 3 Window$ computers that share files with my Gentoo box. They are named tiger,nuclear,and vectra.

 

There are a few different options and how to do it but this works for me....

 

Hope it helps
