Automatically reconnect to a Samba share at login
Authored by: ptevans on Jul 01, '03 05:24:51PM

I did it like this:

Connect to the server, add your pass to the keychain.

Your share will now be mounted on the desktop.

Create an alias of the share.

Go to the Finder->Preferences

Deselect "Show connected servers" on desktop

Rename the alias on the desktop to whatever you please, you will now effectively be your share.

Automatically reconnect to a Samba share at login

Of all the things I have read and tried this solution was so simple I could not believe it. It works great. I guess KISS is always applicable.

Automatically reconnect to a Samba share at login

I cant get this to work, When I restart the Alias is there but when I double click on it, it asks for the password, this is fine. But when I type the password in I get a message saying "the alias could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found"
If I goto to finder and connect to the server then the alias works.
But im trying to get the share to come up at login automatically. Ive tried some of the above hints but I havent been able to get those to work either.
