Greetings and salutations Ubuntu users! The good doctor coming to you for a dose of advice on a small but important problem I am having.
I run a dual-boot Heron/XP machine, which Grub has kindly set to have boot off the latest Linux kernel I have installed. Which is what I want. Downside: If for any reason I reboot and walk away, or the comp reboots when I'm away, it does not mount or share my drives on my network. Just sits there on the login screen.
What I think I'm looking for is a script that runs at boot, before login, that runs as root and simply mounts and shares filesystems with the share names and permissions I choose.
What I need is confirmation that this method is possible, with a couple pointers to get me started. Else a better method to do the same thing would be groovy.
Thanks for your dedication, gang!
