If you want KDE to remember your SSH key’s passphrase for your whole desktop session you can create a ~/.config/autostart/ssh-add.desktop file like this:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=ssh-add Comment=Adds my private key to my session. Exec=/usr/bin/konsole -e 'ssh-add /home/$USER/.ssh/id_rsa'
I found the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file! Fun!
Configuring an SMB mount from my Linux box to my Windows box. This was helpful.
Basically:
# apt-get install cifs-utils
Then create your credentials file:
# cat > /root/amanda.smbpass <<EOF username=jj5 password=SECRET EOF
Then edit /etc/fstab and add:
//amanda.jj5.net/Users /media/amanda cifs defaults,noauto,credentials=/root/amanda.smbpass 0 2
Then create /etc/network/if-up.d/mount-amanda like this:
#!/bin/bash mount /media/amanda
And make sure it’s executable:
# chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/mount-amanda
Mounting can also be done from the command-line:
# mount -t cifs -o username=jj5,password=SECRET //amanda.jj5.net/Users /media/amanda
