distributions packaged in the `cifs-utils` package to be installed.
Samba shares then can be mounted by adapting and running the following example:
`mount -t cifs //<server address>/<share name> <path to mount point> -o username=<username>,password=<password>`

The mounting of Samba shares requires a package containing `mount.cifs` in many
distributions packaged in the `cifs-utils` package to be installed.
To automount Samba shares the following line has to be adapted and added

`//<server address>/<share name> <path to mountpoint> cifs,nofail credentials=<path to authentication file> 0 0`.
To automatically mount Samba shares the following line has to be adapted and added
to `/etc/fstab`.
```txt
//<server address>/<share name> <path to mountpoint> cifs,nofail credentials=<path to authentication file> 0 0

An authentication file looks like the following:
```txt
username=<username>
password=<password>
```

```txt
//<server address>/<share name> <path to mountpoint> cifs,nofail username=<username>,password=<password> 0 0
