[Samba] Does smbmount support timeout equivalent to nfs "soft" mount ?

[Yanping Du]

Greg,
  Thanks for your kind reply. 
   Sorry in my previous email I did not make the details clear.  I wish I could set an entry to /etc/fstab, but my problem is the CIFS server IP, remote dir-name and local mount point are all dynamic - they will only be specified in "mount" command as mount options. :-( 
   Now I tend to think there's no easy way to do it.
   thanks again,
yanping

Leave it in fstab, but say noauto in the options section
