 |
|
Hey guys,
Iam writing a script that mounts my network shares at startup, it does this by:
| Code: | | smbmount '//server/share' /mnt/share/ -o username=testuser,password=mysecret |
Since the password it uses to connect is the same as my global network password... i dont want it to be readable in the script..
i thought about entering the password everytime it starts but that would take a lot of time at every bootup.... is there a way co hide the password or somehow scramble it?
thx in advance!

| For CIFS you can use sth. like "credentials=<path to your file>" as a mount option. |
