[wplug] Novell Netware Attach script question

[Mike Griffin]

Write a script?

	#!/bin/bash

	echo -n "Enter Username: "
	read username

	echo -n "Enter Password: "
	read password

	ncpmount -S servername -U $username -P $password /mountpoint

	username=""
	password=""

	exit 0


The script will prompt for username and password, servername and 
mountpoint would be defined in the script.
