@JaredBusch Isn't that automounting?
I really like the idea of cred file. That would make things easy.
Instead of autoconfig, I would like a script that I could use for connecting that breaks connection at reboot
You still should dismount the share (in a normal circumstance), but at least the approach @travisdh1 posted won't automount.

Combine the two suggestions.
Don't use fstab, use the mount. But don't prompt for the user/pass, read it from a config file.

Put your username and password in a text file in your hidden
/home/user/.configfolder.
Create this file/home/user/.config/smb_creds
With this contentusername=SMBUser password=SMBPasswordCan I store domain there as well?
You'd just enter the username as
domain@useriircok. That is easy enough.
I'd make another script to unmount the shares when your done with them as well.
#!/bin/bash unmount /mount/pointMight make that one big general dismount for all of the shares you might even use. Rather than a script per SMB server.

You'd just enter the username as
domain@useriircor domain\username depending on what type of domain you're connecting to.

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)

It's the only reason I can give you, it's above my pay-grade and I figure someone wanted to make the users pay.
