Neuros OSD Media Player - Auto Mount Network Shares

Neuros OSD: http://www.neurostechnology.com/

IMPORTANT: Remember to turn off the firewall on the computer with the shares!
(Use Fire Starter and add a rule to allow the OSD access)


Setup Samba
This was basically to allow basic networking and so the script files created using gedit could be copied on to the OSD.
Create Samba user: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/123/creating-samba-user/
Open terminal and type...

smbpasswd -a username


Telnet into the OSD
Open terminal and type...

telnet
open [IP address]
User name: root
Password: pablod
cd ..
ls
