After doing some mail archive searches I am nothing but confused. I'm hearing that you don't need to install smbfs from ports as it's in the base system and if you do install from ports you might stuff it up. The release notes say that support has been added to the kerel and that that smbfs needs to be installed from ports in order to use it. WHat is the real story here? What options do I need to compile my kernel with in order to get this to work? While I'm at it - do you have to specify the password in cleartext in fstab if you want to automount an smbfs volume or is there another way to do it? Can a mount be set up that connects to a share using the currently logged in username and uses the users current password? Can this be done automatically at login?
