I don't even install the mount-cifs script. I simply put the share
definition in /etc/fstab on the client, and then use the vanilla mount
command. E.g.,
//192.168.0.2/backups /usr/local/remote_backups cifs
noauto,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,user=root,pass=eetoot 0 0
[The above should be on 1 line.]
Note that my real password for root is not "eetoot"; that is simply a
fake password I set up for Samba shares.
Whenever I need to transfer a backup archive to the server, I simply
issue:
mount /usr/local/remote_backups
and then copy the data across.
