Storing passwords for SMB shares
Apple's HOWTO has a very interesting section on storing your passwords. This means that you do not have to enter your username, password and workgroup everytime you connect, just smb://server/share. All you need to do is create a file named .nsmbrc in your home directory. The file is of the following format: [SERVER:USER:SHARE] addr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx password=your_password workgroup=WORKGROUPwhere xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of the server, etc. You can have as many of these blocks as you like. To protect your passwords, you should also chmod 600 the .nsmbrc file. That done, has anyone had any success with automatically mounting shares on login? I guess you could produce a script using the mount_smbfs command, but then the mounts wont appear on the desktop.
