      Put your username and password in a text file in your hidden /home/user/.config folder.
      Create this file /home/user/.config/smb_creds
      With this content

      username=SMBUser
password=SMBPassword

      Can I store domain there as well?

      You'd just enter the username as domain@user iirc

      ok. That is easy enough.

      I'd make another script to unmount the shares when your done with them as well.

      #!/bin/bash
unmount /mount/point

      Might make that one big general dismount for all of the shares you might even use. Rather than a script per SMB server.

      I don't like unmounting multiple things with a single command. I've been burned by unmounting important things in the past.

        On a side question, how do you guys deal with password changes and SMB shares that get mounted like this? Seems like it would be a pain in the rear to have to go and constantly update several files with new passwords every 90 days or so.

          I know of no one who changes domain passwords that frequently - thank the maker. EHR passwords - that's another story.

              That's why I suggested prompting for the password in that sample script.

                Would you manually set the username instead though? (because users)

                                      I have done some tinkering with Autofs... It's interesting, but it did work. I don't have it set up on anything at the moment though.
