Humm, yes I see. Also that for more than one share, which may have different
usernames & passwords, one would need a samba.cred per share. Probably best
to rename that to the shares alias in the hosts file, in my case shop.cred
I did above 2 tries without samba.cred option. 1) /etc/fstab and
2) rc.local. 1) had no effect. I could not find any win filesystem
under the /mnt directry. 2) made Fedora into forever loop
at startup, asking password in the character screen. Fedora need
rescue CD. So I guess samba.cred option might not be solution.
Anyway I will study them.
