In order for your SME server to mount a network share, it needs to know a valid username and password on the intended network server.

You can schedule a program to run whenever your system boots by adding it to the e-smith '''local''' event. This event is executed by SME after all other boot processes have run, so the network, USB subsystem, etc should all be initialized and available.

# The method described gives access to //nas01/share1 and //nas02/share2 using the username and password placed into /root/.passwd/nas01. Once successfully mounted, this means that anyone who can browse to the '''info''' ibay will be able to access your data. Make sure this is what you want!

# If you don't include <tt>/etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs start</tt> in your script (S95netshares), your system will lock up every time you shutdown. This is a bug in CentOS (and hence will not be addressed by the SME developers). See [http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4086 Bug 4086] for more information.
