This Howto assumes:
This Howto assumes:
* You will be mounting your shares into the '''info''' ibay
* You will be using '''cifs''' (smbfs or nfs should be similar)
* Your cifs server is named '''nas01'''
* You want to access two shares on nas01: '''share1''' and '''share2'''
* You can successfully open \\nas01\share1 and \\nas01\share2 from windows using
** username: '''joe'''
** password: '''theplumber'''

First create the directories that will be used to host the mounted data. These directories should remain empty at all times.

=== Create a password file ===
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.

If all goes well, you should now be able to "see" your network data, and verify your network mounts, using one or more of these commands:
If all goes well, you should now be able to verify that your new script works as expected using one of these commands:

=== Notes and Warnings ===
# The method describes 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.

# If you don't include <tt>/etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs start</tt> in your script, your system will lock up every time you shutdown. This is (in my opinion) 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.
