automounting cifs shares

Post by saini » 2015/07/29 16:20:02

Hi,

Is it possible to automount cifs shares (hosted on a samba server) when a user logs in to their workstation?
Trying to find a solution that doesn't involve storing a users creds in a file for mount.cifs to use.
Workstations are either authenticated using NIS or LDAP. This instance of LDAP doesn't have the auto mount property enabled.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

This should work http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-mount-a-s ... edorarhel/ but noite you are exposing username/password in plain text.
