I have 2 connectshares: both with different properties.

One has 3 entries for sharesuser, creduser and credpass
The other has 4 entries for sharesuser and a different creduser and credpass

How do I combine the two into one file.

Alternatively, if I have to have it in two files, how do I invoke connectshares with a specific filename.

You will need two connectshares profiles for your situation.

You.can specify a profile with

connectshares profile.conf

Have you looked in the Connectshares guide in the antiX FAQ? There is a section showing how to make mutiple connections.
