Test system: Ubuntu 16.04.4, date: 2018-03-13.
Note that these commands assume you’re using the root account to set things up.

Install Samba and CIFS Utils:

apt install smbclient cifs-utils

Create a directory to mount to (using “rs” here for Research Storage):

mkdir /rs

There are a few ways to finish setting things up.

For a shared system where a user (non root) can mount the share, first add the share path to your /etc/fstab file:

//storage1.ris.wustl.edu/WUSTLKey/Active  /rs  cifs  domain=accounts,noauto,vers=2.1,mfsymlinks,users 0 0

Then the user that wishes to mount the share can then type this command:

USER=wustlkey mount /rs/path

Note that only the user that runs the command can access the share.

---

For having Research Storage mount on each boot, usable by all users:

Create a file to store your credentials:

vi /root/.creds

Inside that file, add your credentials:

username=WUSTLKey
password=password
domain=accounts

Protect the file so that only root can view it:

chmod 600 /root/.creds

Then add this to the bottom of /etc/fstab:

//storage1.ris.wustl.edu/WUSTLKey   /rs   cifs   uid=1001,gid=1001,credentials=/root/.creds,vers=2.1,mfsymlinks  0 0

Run “mount -av” to mount the share.
