      Put your username and password in a text file in your hidden /home/user/.config folder.
      Create this file /home/user/.config/smb_creds
      With this content

      username=SMBUser
      password=SMBPassword
      

      Can I store domain there as well?

      You'd just enter the username as domain@user iirc

      or domain\username depending on what type of domain you're connecting to.

        ok. That is easy enough.

        I'd make another script to unmount the shares when your done with them as well.

        #!/bin/bash
        unmount /mount/point
        

        Might make that one big general dismount for all of the shares you might even use. Rather than a script per SMB server.

        I don't like unmounting multiple things with a single command. I've been burned by unmounting important things in the past.

          On a side question, how do you guys deal with password changes and SMB shares that get mounted like this? Seems like it would be a pain in the rear to have to go and constantly update several files with new passwords every 90 days or so.

            I know of no one who changes domain passwords that frequently - thank the maker. EHR passwords - that's another story.

                That's why I suggested prompting for the password in that sample script.

                  Would you manually set the username instead though? (because users)

                                  It's the only reason I can give you, it's above my pay-grade and I figure someone wanted to make the users pay.

                                        I have done some tinkering with Autofs... It's interesting, but it did work. I don't have it set up on anything at the moment though.
