Re: [MLUG] mounting network drive

[Sven <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

There are some problems with your mount:

1) the //xyz/ has to be the netbios name
2) the fs is ¨smb¨
3) if you use smbmount (better than mount -t smb), you need to use '¨' around 
the option string (all in one string)

To give you a working sample:

(one line /etc/fstab
------------------
//server03/export    /mntdir        smb 
defaults,credentials=/etc/samba/myusr.cred,user,noauto,uid=myusr,gid=mygrp,umask=0 
0 0
-------------------

myusr.cred:
--------------------------
username=myuser
password=mypass
--------------------------

to mount (not at boot) export from server03 to /mntdir. My options say, that 
the right are setup for a user myusr.mygrp (if left out this is root.root) 
etc.

I have some lines like this, and they work with RH7.x, RH8 RH9, Knoppix. So 
there is a good chance for you too.
