Don't you mean /etc/fstab?

Why are you mounting /mnt/smb_dir, when you've entered it
as /mnt/smb-share?

Change "/mnt/smb-share" to "/mnt/smb_dir" and move the entry
to /etc/fstab?

I did mean /etc/samba/smbfstab. Documentation I read said this is where I
should state cifs mount points, although I have now abandoned that for
/etc/fstab.

Mounting /mnt/smb_dir was typo in this e-mail. I meant '/mnt/smb-share'.

I finally did get this to work in /etc/fstab and with the appropriate kernel
version. The 'credentials' setting does not work in kernel version, 2.6.5,
but it does work in kernel version, 2.6.11.

Thanks,
