This may not be very interesting or impressive, but I had a hard time finding info on basic stuff like this.
First I created a dir in my Home directory as a mount point, I well call it share here. I went into properties - permissions tab - and made sure I was owner, then selected the Set UID check box (not 100% sure it was necessary). Then as root
1.Open fstab located in /etc
2.on a new line use this syntax
//servername/sharename /home/user/share smbfs username=domainuser,password=password,uid=username ,rw
The uid sets the owner of files and folders on the mount point, and the rw allows read And write access. Save the work, and log out of KDE. When you log back in, one new icon that look like a drive will be on the desktop that is a shortcut to the mount point. The share will automaticaly be mounted at startup. Not a very interesting thing, but very neccesary for domain users. Couldn't have done it without help from forums and MAN pages in Linux.
