This is just how I do it and thought it might help others who are perhaps wondering how to do it# optional authentication information # either set it here or pass it in via the environment # SMB_USER= # SMB_PASSWORDI don't think that embedding password information in a distributed example program map is the right thing to do. People need to work out how they will access authentication information for themselves and modify the example program map to suite. Also, I don't understand how this can be set in the environment. If it is set in the daemon environment, typically root, and used for every mount then I don't think that is a good example of usage to distribute either.
