Automating mount and login for CIFS

[Scott Frye_1]

Are there any good ways/best practices for automatically mounting and loging in for a CIFS share. We are running both HP-UX 11.0 and 11.i and are the client trying to mount a share on an W2K box. I am aware of the one liner that allows you to do this but I am not sure if there is a place I could plug this in so it happens automatically. Something independent of me having to log in as root to get it started.

Thanks

Scott

Steven,

Not exactly what I'm looking for. I know all of that. I'm trying to automate it so I don't have to authenticate to the share each time. Melvyn Burnard had exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the link Robert http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x48e9ff77de2bd611abd50090277a778c
