Hi there, |
| 10 |

If I'm understanding correctly that all you want to do is mount the |
| 12 |
directories you need automagically then is put the details in /etc/ |
| 13 |
fstab. |

http://preview.tinyurl.com/5vywbm explains how to keep credentials in |
| 15 |
a separate file. |

Aside from this, I'm afraid I'm not fully grokking what your |
| 18 |
intentions are. Merely mounting a couple of Windows file-shares on a |
| 19 |
Linux box isn't really integrating it into the AD domain. I have to |
| 20 |
admit that in my eagerness to sound knowledgeable I probably wasn't |
| 21 |
paying full attention when I read your message prior to replying |
| 22 |
yesterday. |

In an ideal world users should use their domain username & password |
| 25 |
to log on when they sit down at the Linux box. And they should be |
| 26 |
mounting the directories they need off the file server by (double- |
| 27 |
clicking on a drive icon on their KDE desktop if necessary and) using |
| 28 |
their same unique credentials (*not yours!*). If you want to fully |
| 29 |
implement this then it's not a two minute job; you shouldn't need |
| 30 |
much from the Windows IT admins except the name of the domain and |
| 31 |
perhaps the resolvable name of the domain master server - you should |
| 32 |
be able to test using your own domain\user:pass |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Google is muchly the enemy of your enemy. For your punctuation |
| 35 |
question I hope you find this a good starting point: |
