question regarding samba usage
I am trying to get access to a home account on another unix host(solaris)
to my linux machine. It works pretty well using the smbmount command
however i would like to have this occur automagically when I login or
perhaps have the system automount this without my having to type in an extra passwd
upon logging in. The point is it should not be necessary to have to go beyond
merely logging in at which point the samba share should already be there or be automounted
upon the logging in action or perhaps when the machine boots.
Perhaps smbmount can be told not to prompt for a passwd.
<An Aside>
Is there anyway to make samba look into the unix passwd file other than the smbpasswd
file. Usually the practice is to run a cronjob and add new userids to the smbpasswd
file. Would be nice to have these be one facility for authentication.
</An Aside>
Hopefully I am making sense. Any thoughts?
