10.5: Automount Samba shares in leopard
Authored by: calle on Mar 01, '08 02:24:01AM

The most important point in this hint is that it allows you can keep the mount points stable. I want to use the same laptop for two different users and had problems because the SMB share used by both users was mounted at names Shared, Shared-1 and so on, depending on whether the other user has previously accessed files on the share. This gave problems when e.g. the iTunes Library was stored there or you wanted to create links to files on the share.

With this hint, both users can use different mountpoints that will be stable like Shared-UserA and Shared-UserB.
