I don't even install the mount-cifs script. I simply put the share |
| 17 |
definition in /etc/fstab on the client, and then use the vanilla mount |
| 18 |
command. E.g., |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
//192.168.0.2/backups /usr/local/remote_backups cifs |
| 21 |
noauto,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,user=root,pass=eetoot 0 0 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
[The above should be on 1 line.] |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Note that my real password for root is not "eetoot"; that is simply a |
| 26 |
fake password I set up for Samba shares. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Whenever I need to transfer a backup archive to the server, I simply |
| 29 |
issue: |
| 30 |
mount /usr/local/remote_backups |
| 31 |
and then copy the data across. |

Hi, |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
just want to answer to that old mail. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I have it done as follows: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
//way/2/otherpc /mnt/mountpoint cifs |
| 48 |
noatime,credentials=/root/.credentials,uid=1000,umask=000,user 0 0 |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
and the file /.credentials can only be read by root. In there is my |
| 51 |
password and username: |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
username=myusername |
| 54 |
password=mypswd |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Regards |
| 57 |
