#!/bin/bash

USER=bilal
DOMAIN=localnetwork.com 

LOCAL_LOCATION=/home/bilal/networkStorage
REMOTE_LOCATION=//{IP_ADDRESS}/{DIRECTORY}

sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=$USER,domain=$DOMAIN $REMOTE_LOCATION $LOCAL_LOCATION
echo -e "to unmount:\n\tsudo umount $LOCAL_LOCATION"

# troubleshooting:
# ensure smbfs installed (sudo apt-get install smbfs)
# $MACHINE_NAME = `hostname -s`
# ensure /etc/hosts contains
# 	127.0.1.1	$MACHINE_NAME.$DOMAIN
# ensure /etc/hostname contains
# 	$MACHINE_NAME.$DOMAIN

# tip: change password
# smbpasswd -r $DOMAIN -U $USER
