----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirk Strauser" <kirk@strauser.com> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 12:52 PM Subject: Automounting smbfs? The built-in amd automounter may work great for NFS, but I increasingly find myself mounting Windows shares and amd doesn't seem to support them. Any suggestions? -- Kirk Strauser Kirk, here's what I did to auto mount my pesky windows shared backup folder prior to having a seperate nfs mount to put them. Configure your share as noauto in /etc/fstab (example) ### SMBFS Mounts # #//username@server/share /<mount point> smbfs noauto,rw,-N,-I=<windows ip#> 0 0 Then, in the root crontab, add this: "@reboot /<path_to_your_script>/mbfs.sh" Then, in <path_to_your_script> create a file named mbfs.sh and edit it as such: #!/bin/sh echo " " echo " " echo "mounting smbfs slices..." sleep 5 /sbin/mount /backups Please keep in mind, that this method will require the proper share auth info to be in /etc/nsmb.conf, so protect this file as it holds plain text passwords for your windows systems. Then on system restart, after everything else is accessible and running, cron will launch and remount those drives for you. Hope it helps. -- Micheal Patterson Senior Communications Systems Engineer 405-917-0600 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
