Hi,

Tonight I was reinstalling my Ubuntu machine and because this machine is going to be connected to the internet I did not want to store any passwords in clear text on the machine.

Auto-mounting my Pogoplug was not needed. And to make my life a little easier for mounting, I made a small little script to ask me for a username and password to mount my Pogoplugs.

[code]
#!/bin/bashecho Pogoplug Hard-Disk script
echoread -p "Enter your login : " loginname
stty -echoread -p "Enter your password : " passwrd; echo
stty echo
echo
echo Logging in your Pogoplug and mounting it.
./pogoplugfs --user $loginname --password $passwrd --mountpoint /media/pogoplug
[/code]

Now this only works if you already installed pogoplugfs and knows that it works. Just change the paths if needed.

Script is super-simple and can be used free of charge. Just think of me when you are using it :) LOL
