I tired "smbmount  <username>"   where <username> stands for the username.
Ten i get a message that says "could not resolve mount point".

But also i think this has to be automatic in a way that when a user mounts a 
share it automatically mounts provided the username and the password are 
valid.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks
