Linux

Mounting

Ensure you have samba-utils installed, then run:

mount -t cifs -o username=leo,password=53cr3T$ //10.1.1.123/share /mnt/share

You can also have the secrets placed in a separate file rather than have it in line with the mount command. To do so, create a separate credentials file with the following contents:

cat /etc/cifs_passwd  # can be placed anywhere. Ensure it's not world readable.
username=leo
password=53cr3T$

Then to mount, use {{code|-o credentials=/etc/cifs_passwd like:

mount -t cifs -o credentials=/etc/cifs_passwd //10.1.1.123/share /mnt/share

/etc/fstab

If you plan on mounting it in {{code|/etc/fstab, append:

//10.1.1.123/share /mnt/share cifs credentials=/etc/cifs_passwd 0 0

Default User / Group

To set the default user/group ID, define the {{code|uid and {{code|gid value as part of the options. eg:

mount -t cifs -o uid=1024,gid=512,credentials=/etc/cifs_passwd //10.1.1.123/share /mnt/share

Unmounting

Unmount as usual:

umount /mnt/share

FreeBSD

Mounting

mount_smbfs -I 10.1.1.4 //leo@remote_host/share /mnt/share

where -I takes the remote host's IP address. Your username @ the NetBIOS name / path to your share comes next. The mount path follows after that.
