-Hi SAMBA developers!
-
-I have written a shell script that marries smbmount and mount
-on a Linux-machine with a 2.1.55+ kernel (i.e., a newer developper
-kernel.  Especially it makes smbmount compatible
-with autofs!  Now, You (when root :-) can say
-       mount -t smb /win-machine/my-share /mntpt
-Concerning the management of the user/password-pairs I have already
-made a step in the right direction, but there is still a lot of
-brain-work to do :-(
-
-The primary problem with the Win passwords
-is that they are under user-control, and not under admin-control
-as the Linux passwords are.  Therfore, I give every SAMBA user
-a
-       ~/smb-pass
-file where she can manage her usernames and passwords herself.
-The fundamental mount-tables /etc/fstab and /etc/auto.* only
-list the mount-point and the respective options.  The user´s
-password file is adressed via the uuname=<user_name>-option.
-
-An important "side-effect" is that the password file need not to
-be word-readable.  In fact my script tests for user-only rights of
-this file to close this potential security-hole.
-
-The script mount.smb has to be installed in /sbin and given mode 755.
-No suid is necessary!  I attached an automount table that is currently
-in use on my machine.  A user´s password file looks like this:
-
-$ cat ~/smb-pass
-supra:/cspiel   cspiel  secret
-helium:/c       cspiel  sesame
-^               ^       ^
-|               |       +- password
-|               +- username
-+- share-name as in fundamental mount-table.
-
-It would be nice, if someone else tests my script.  Maybe, You have
-already found a better solution than mine.  If You find it useful,
-I would be glad to donate it to the SAMBA-project.
-
-BUGS:
-(1) There is no documentation yet.  (Yes, I consider this a bug!)
-(2) When used with autofs the automounter overruns mount.smb.
-    This means when accessing an automounted share for the 1st time
-    You may get an empty directory.  Retrying several times will
-    cause the mount to complete successfully.
