      @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

      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/.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.

          or 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)
