[Tfug] KDE desktop mount icons and passwords

[Joshua Schlotterer]

I don't know about the desktop icons itself, but I had a heck of time
trying to load Samba in SU mode.  (what can I say, I'm still really new
to this!) 
I did read somewhere that you can load the passwords itself into a
smb.conf to automatically save the password for whatever filesystem you
are trying to mount.  My only issue with that so far is that on my WinXP
PC, there are multiple users, each with their own password, so now I
just log into XP as myself, and Samba seems everything just fine on the
XP.
As for NFS, should be about the same, prolly need a nfs.conf file for
it.

Subject: [Tfug] KDE desktop mount icons and passwords

  Is there a way to use the KDE desktop drive icons to mount a NFS,
Samba, or any other filesystem that requires a password to mount? 
Currently I have to mount any filesystems that require a password using
the command line.  Instead I would really like to click on a desktop
icon and get prompted for the password using a gui.  Any ideas?
  I guess my only other choice would be to use the PAM_mount module to
handle the passwords automatically when I login.  Is anyone using or
tried PAM_mount?
