mount permissions?

mount permissions?

[Richard Foulk]

Aloha,

Linux mount(1) supports something like this:

    smbmount //host/share /mnt -o username name%password
	                            ------------------------

This lets you specify the Windows user and password for the mount.

Is there any way to do this with Cygwin's mount?


Thanks

Richard

net use x: '\\host\share' /USER:username password
mount x:/ /path/foo/bar

Simpler yet:

net use '\\host\share' /USER:username password
mount //host/share /path/foo/bar

(no need to use up the drive letter).
One more thing to mention is that Cygwin mounts are persistent, so the
second command need only be issued once.  The first will need to be
re-issued on every logon, I think.

You should be able to add /PERSISTENT:YES to "net use" to have it
automatically happen at each login.  Or maybe that means something else,
I've not tried it.

/PERSISTENT:YES will save the connections, but it won't save the password,
so you'll be prompted for a password (and a username, I think) each time
you logon to Windows.  You may be able to use /SAVECRED, but MSDN is
unclear on exactly what that does, and it may not work in Windows prior to
XP.
