in thread Mounting windows shares from Linux

Thanks for your help, it works perfetly now. Oh and I see that you were wondering why I was doing this. Well the reason I did not put it in my fstab is that this script is for my laptop so when I bring it to a friends or to school I need to mount on the fly. Again, many thanks!

    Glad to be able to help. BTW, you can still put mount points in fstab using the noauto option (like I did) and still mount your shares on the fly with mount /mnt/win or whatever. I guess that was the point I was trying to make with my main, alternative, suggestion.

    The noauto option keeps the system from mounting the drive at system startup. The user option allows normal users to mount/dismount the drive. Put both in your fstab for this share and it should solve your problems.
