Fedora 13 Samba weirdness

[Eugene Jansen van Rensburg]

1.  create a file anyware containing your credentials (I used
/etc/.smbcreds) mybe use a place that only you can access
    Formate it like this
    username=yourusername
    password=yourpassword

2.  run the mount command like this
    mount -t cifs //server_ip/share /yourmountpoint/ -o
credentials=/etc/.smbcreds

I use this on fedora 13 with no problems and no password in the mount
command output

hope it helps
