Q
I have not figured out how to make the shares permanent yet. After a reboot, i have to go into Sambamatic and re-establish the shares if I need them.
This is what I use on my A4000/OS3.9 setup, but might be useful for you anyways...
As I don't need to see my Amiga partitions on anything else than my Amiga, I have not installed Samba. A TCP/IP stack and smbfs is all I need. When my computer boots the TCP/IP stack is launched through user-startup. From user-startup I also mount 4 network shares using smbfs the same way you wrote earlier. When WB is opened, the 4 shares has been mounted. Every share has its own Disk.info, so they look like network shares and with their own name. Works a treat for me; might be useful for you!
PS. Try launching smbfs this way instead. Run >NIL: SMBFS Workgroup=WORKGROUP User="username" Password="password" Service=//192.168.15.110/download device="Download" volume="Download"
You can then access the share with download: instead of it being smbfs: allowing for multiple shares.
In my case I use Run >NIL: SMBFS Workgroup=WORKGROUP User="username" Password="password" Service=//192.168.15.110/download device=Download volume="Download @ server" resulting in a device called Download and a volumename "Download @ server"
