Fw: Using cron with network share

[Oren Cheyette <ocheyette at gmail dot com>]

** apologies about the bad formatting in the earlier reply **

Well, I apologize for being dense, but I'm not getting it. I read the
document you link to quite a few times before posting my query.

I initially tried running the service under my own account (as
suggested in the faq) with my username & password entered at prompts
from cron-config. No luck. Then I added the mount point to the system
fstab and tried again. No luck. Then I changed cron to run as system
rather than user, just to see. Still no luck. I also tried adding my
username & password to the registry using passwd -R.

I seem to be missing some elementary step to mount network shares, but
I haven't found it anywhere in a week's worth of googling. Any further
hints would be appreciated.
