Adam,
Rather than using /etc/fstab (works fine), for users with different
share requirements, you could set up a mount point in autofs. In the
/etc/auto.master file, set up the mount point and connection file
/home/user/mnt /etc/auto.user --timeout=60
Then in your /etc/auto.user file, set up the specific share connection
(sub appropriate values for user, uid and IP/share)
xpbox
-fstype=smbfs,credentials=/home/user/etc/domain.credentials,uid=xxx,rw
://10.0.0.1/temp\$
You can set up multiple samba credential files for different domains
(NT, AD etc) which gives excellent flexibility.

Subject: [Samba] How to automount windows share?
I am using XP as a fileserver and I would like to have linux mount the
share automatically when it starts up. I added a line to my /etc/fstab
and I can now mount the mount point but it still doesn't mount
automatically at startup.
