[Samba] Fstab mounting error

Hi all,

I've googled on this but no luck so far.

I'm using FC4.  This works flawlessly:

Mount -t smbfs //host/share /var/mount/hostname/sharename -o
username=username,password=password,domain=DOMAIN,fmask=0777,dmask=0777

However, it fails in fstab when I do:

//host/share /var/mount/hostname/sharename smbfs
username=username,password=password,domain=DOMAIN,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 0 0

Any ideas?  Is this because it's not root that runs the fstab mounts?
Because even if I run mount -a as root, still no love.
