I am looking online trying to find a procedure to automount a CIFS share but need to use username/domain/pass in the credential file thats referenced in fstab. Its not working, anyone know of a resource that works in CentOS5.1?
If it matters, the unc has a dash and a $ in it, and the password has special characters in it.
Thanks! jlc

This works for me using a credentials file:
username=<DOMAIN><hostname> password=<password>
I know the $ doesn't make a difference because I mount my AD homedir that has a $ at the end, I don't think the dash would make a difference but I'm not a 100% positive.

Are you trying to do this from Windows or CentOS. Windows will easily AutoMount the Shares. CentOS is a lil Different. From (fstab or automount)??? see wiki.centos.org for CentOS. For CentOS you may need to change the globle perms in the Samba conf file.
Windows it is Right Click | Add a Network Drive, on the Network Icon.
CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
This works for me using a credentials file:
username=<DOMAIN><hostname> password=<password>
