Its nice to be able to mount an external network disk or a MS windows server on your system. It works well, except I haven't been able to make National charset work properly on my NAS. No matter how I set it up.

You need to have the following information ready:
* User id to login on the device. (mike)
* Password.
* IP address. (10.0.0.96)
* Netbios name. (FS2)
* The name of the share you wish to use on the remote device. (movie)
* Mount point on this server. (/fs2)

'''Make auto login'''

To mount the device at boot time you start by creating a hash for the password:
smbutil crypt
Password:
$$17c5a5325
Copy the created hash value.
Now you must make an entry in /etc/nsmb.conf file. Insert something like this:
edit /etc/nsmb.conf

# File System on disk 2
[FS2:MIKE]
addr=10.0.0.96
password=<put hased password here>

'''Define mount'''

Now you have to create an entry in the /etc/fstab file. It might look like this:

edit /etc/fstab

# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0s1e /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0s1d /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0

''add this line if the user id is “mike” the netbios name “FS2” and the share "movie"''
//mike@FS2/movie /fs2 smbfs rw 0 0

Create the mount point directory:
mkdir /fs2
chown mike:staff

Test it by mounting it:
mount /fs2
ls /fs2
