How to automatically mount samba shares at startup in linux

This tutorial would help you mount your samba network shares automatically at startup, this would mount it to a folder which would make it easier than typing the password always.To do this, you need to modify you /etc/fstab file.So here's how you do it

Step 1 : Go to the terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Step 2 : The fstab file should open in text editor
Step 3 : Add the following line to the end of the file

//servername/sharename /mountdirectory smbfs username=windowsuserename,password=windowspassword 0 0
