Mounting Windows Shares with Blanks in the Share Name

[Steve McClary]

Thanks for the suggestion, putting the smbmount in rc.local seems to be 
working fine. The mounted drive shows up on the Linux machine with an 
underscore in the name instead of a blank, probably to tell me that that is 
a better way to do this anyway <g>
