variables in directory

All,

I just found this on another forum (hardware specific).. I am crazy but don't variables have to be in a script or shell?

Quote:

First, in your /mnt directory create a folder named /mnt/lspro. (You may use a different name if you wish, but be consistant.) These are the variables you'll need to adapt for your situation: LSIP = IP address of your Linkstation SHARE = Share name (case sensitive) LSUSER = Linkstation share username. LSPASS = Linkstation share password. USER = Your Linux account username.
