This works great on Ubuntu 8.04LTS – Thanks!
Note: The other (“new, updated”) post (smbfs) did not.

Just thought I’d drop in and leave a comment.

This method works in ubuntu 7.04 perfectly. Every time my wireless network connected, the share would mount. I used it to listen to music from my other server.

I recently upgraded to 7.10. This does NOT auto-mount, I had to say mount all to get it all to work. No idea why…but hey, thanks for the article.

I dont know if this method works anymore. It might be outdated. I’m currently using cifs instead of smbfs. If I have a chance this weekend I’ll post an update.

In fact, I did update this in November of ‘06, but I use an even different method than that.

Hmmm, i don’t get this to work.. i’m on a ubuntu laptop and trying to connect to a gentoo server on the network.. the server is using samba with logon(smbusers). It is working perfectly from windows, but not from this laptop. I can get it to work with read-only, but not rw.

The command i use is: mount -t smbfs -o username=USER,password=XXX //IP/USER /home/USER/raid uid=USER,gid=USER

Yes, offcourse… user, password and ip is all changed in the real one.

I don’t get an error, i get the Usage lists, etc…
