Script to automatically map samba shares as network drive
Hopefully someone will be kind enough to help me. I have a fileserver acting as a PDC and providing samba shares to a small network. Authentication to the PDC is via LDAP (setup using ebox) The users all have real local accounts on the server.
I would like a windows logon script that will:
1. automatically mount the samba shares as mapped networked drives, ie:
/media/share1 to P:
/media/share2 to Q:
2. map the "My Documents" folder to the users /home share which I think is automatically mounted as H:
Ideally I would like to map the shares that are specifically available to different groups but this is not essential, ie share1 to group A and share 2 to group A & B.
Thanks in advance.

Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be seen from the following example:
$ svcs samba wins winbind swat
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/samba:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/winbind:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/wins:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/swat:default
where the services are:
"samba"
runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions
"wins"
runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)
"winbind"
runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap
"swat"
Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing access to browser-based Samba administration interface and on-line documentation.
The service runs on software loopback network interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening "http://localhost:901/" in browser will access
the SWAT service on local machine.
Please note: SWAT uses HTTP Basic Authentication scheme where user name and passwords are sent over the network in clear text. In the SWAT
case the user name is root. Transferring such sensitive data is advisable only on the software loopback network interface or over secure
networks.
