"noauto" option in 2.2.0?

Hello list people...
Just thought I'd ask a question. I have samba 2.0.7 (well 2.0.8 now)
installed, on a slackware 7.1 linux machine, and kernel 2.4.4, with
encrypted passwords to a few windows machines. I have the windows shares
in /etc/fstab, set to "noauto", so they don't automatically get mounted at
boot time. In fact, I only want to be able to mount them as root when I
want to. Now I migrated to 2.2.0, manually compiling and designating the
paths where everthing should go. And everything worked fine. Except for
one thing. When I mount a share, //tor/c, lets say on /torc, it says:
smbfs: no such mount option noauto
Has the option changed for 2.2.0? I know mount needs noauto so when it
gets the "mount -a" command at boottime, it will not automatically mount
samba shares. I can still read the share after its mounted. I would
like to switch to 2.2.0 but it keeps giving me this error message. Is
there some type of compromise/fix for this? Thanks...
