You can automatically mount a samba share in the following way. Add
//server/share /mountpoint smbfs
credentials=/location/of/credentials 0 0
to /etc/fstab. Make the credentials file contain only the following two
lines
username=xx
password=yy
with the appropriate username and password of course. Make sure that
that file is not readable by everybody (just root will be fine in most
cases).
regards,
Robert
