The 'user' fstab option isn't working to well with smbfs. It causes other
options to be lost and probably does not work at all on some setups.

/etc/fstab:
//localhost/tmp   /mnt/smb   smbfs   defaults,user,credentials=/etc/.smb_auth

But you must also make smbmnt setuid root for this to work (man chmod).
