Hi i am using a shareconnect script by david ackland to mount smb shares, the script runs ok and i am testing with a smb test share, i am not using AD to authenticate just the users local login
the script runs i get the authentication window i put in the credentials and it looks like it should work but it does not mount the share on the desktop
if i manually do it using connect to server it works ok does anyone have any ideas
he has a youtube video and i have followed it as instructed
!/bin/bash
