    On opensuse the following entries in /etc/fstab mount the remote samba shares at boot time but they don't work on lxle so I assume I'm missing packages needed but there are ALOT of samba related packages so I'm unsure what needs to be installed and if additional changes to the commands needs to be made for ubuntu based distro's.   Can someone point me in the right direction?

    //192.168.3.1/HGST3TB /media/HGST3TB cifs auto,user,credentials=/etc/credentials.txt,rw,uid=famewolf,gid=users 0 0
    //192.168.3.1/TOSHIBA_3TB /media/HGST2TB cifs auto,user,credentials=/etc/credentials.txt,rw,uid=famewolf,gid=users 0 0

    Thanks.  gigolo did a great job for both my windows shares as well as letting me use ssh/sftp/scp to copy files between my lxle pc's.
