====== Configure System To Automount a Samba Share ======

First, make sure that the CIFS mount tool is installed:<code bash>
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
</code>

Next, edit the ''/etc/fstab''
file and put an entry for each Windows/Samba share that you want to mount.

<code>
//server/share /mnt/share cifs credentials=/root/.smbpasswd,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777 0 0
|              |          |    |
|              |          |    ^---------  Mount Options
|              |          ^--------------  Type of file system (smbfs or cifs)
|              ^-------------------------  Local Mount Point
^----------------------------------------  Windows Share Name
</code>

Create the "smbpasswd" file in root's home directory.

<code>
echo domainname=mydomain > /tmp/.smbpasswd
echo username=myusername >> /tmp/.smbpasswd
echo password=mypassword >> /tmp/.smbpasswd

sudo mv /tmp/.smbpasswd /root/.smbpasswd
chmod 600 /root/.smbpasswd
</code>

Replace username and password with your actual parameters. If you have multiple user accounts to multiple shares, you'll want to create a
different "smbpasswd" file for each user account.
