Hi,
I have a number of W2K and Linux machines, and I would like to
smbmount W2K shares on the Linux boxes, at boot time.
I would like to add lines like
//w2khost/share /mnt/w2khost smbfs uid=root,guid=users,dmask=777,username=<w2kuser>,password=<passwd> 1 2
to /etc/fstab, but I am concerned that there will be a cleartext
password in the file.
Can anyone with more samba experience than me (not a big achievement,
mind you :) suggest the proper (read: a secure) way to do this. So far
I came up with an idea to create a restricted user on each W2K
specifically to mount shares from linux, so that the real W2K accounts
will not be compromised. I am not sure it's the right solution though
(comments?).
A pointer to TRFM (The Right FM) and/or constructive suggestions
will be appreciated.
