I just rebuilt one of my machines at work with 11.2 and decided to give samba authentication a try. I got it set up with no trouble, but I have a question about mounting Windows shares.
The way I’ve been mounting shares is by creating a .credentials file in my home directory, then adding the network share in fstab and using the credential file to authenticate.
What I was wondering is, since I’m using samba authentication now and am logging in with the credentials I’ve been storing in the file, can I adjust my fstab to use these credentials instead of the file? I’m guessing that since fstab is mounting things as root, my current credentials don’t apply.
Is there another way to do this without storing my credentials in a file on my machine?
