This file holds already the configuration for your cdrom and floppy. In my configuration there is /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 which has the meaning: use /dev/fd0 als device, /media/floppy as mount point, auto: use any filesystem you can detect, noauto: do not mount at start, user: allow the user to do this. To solve your problem, you have to create entries for the filesystems you want to mount. /etc/fstab: //labmetserver/information /mnt/labmet/information smbfs username=kurts/LMEDOM%xxxxxxxxxxxx 0 0 (This should be written in one line) The second problem is, that you need to use the share-name for mounting, you can not mount "everything" on the smb-server. Maybe there is a way with automounting, but I am not shure about this. For your remaining problems I can offer only little help. I have the impression, that you are setting up a samba server of your own, but I am not shure, whether you want or need to do this. For mounting remote filesystems this should not be necessary. It would be nice to know, whether this answered some of your questions.
