I have a tangential question based upon your response about the credentials file.
I have set up a smbmount to happen on boot in /etc/fstab, but am looking for a good
way to not be prompted for the password, and not have the password in plaintext
in /etc/fstab, or in a credentials file. Do you know how I can acheive this?
Thanks for the help.
Michael

You mean smbmount?
pam_mount will mount things at login time. But that's the full extent of
my knowledge on it.

If it's only for one user you can create an autofs mount that mounts the
//server/share when you access it, without asking for password if you give
it one in the cfg file (or in a separate file using the credentials
option).
