[ILUG] Samba Question

[Donncha O Caoimh]

This sounds more like a problem with the script than with Samba.
Whenever I've written a script that automatically mounts an NT share
(script runs on a Linux box connecting to an actual NT machine so
opposite of what you're asking about.. same difference in the end
probably ;) I pass the username and password in the mount command. That
way the script could in theory mount a share as any valid NT user (who
has permission on the share of course).
That's the best I can think of and I might be completely wrong...

It also sounds like the script inherits the properties of the NT user it
runs as, so there's no need to pass user/pw in the command line. (pure
guessing, never had to script such a thing from the NT side, thank God!)

Donncha.
