+ # in this example, a box named gulliver has an SMB share called "build".
+ # we are mounting that to a local directory /home/fred/gullybuild.
+ # the uid/gid items should be set to the actual user id and group id for
+ # whatever user will need to access and modify those files. the credentials
+ # file is used to specify authentication parameters for the share. an
+ # example of the credential file format is below.

+# example credentials file:
+# the information below is all that should be needed to access the share on
+# gulliver. note that the user can contain a windows domain.
+# this file does not go in /etc/fstab! it should be a separate file in the
+# /etc directory or some other safe place. the file permissions should only
+# allow root to read/write the file, such as when these three commands
+# are used to set the ownership and permissions:
+# chown root /etc/gulliver_credentials.txt
+# chgrp root /etc/gulliver_credentials.txt
+# chmod 600 /etc/gulliver_credentials.txt
