[PLUG] One last Samba question...

Now that you have helped me get Samba browsing and printing working, I 
have one last configuration problem.

I want to mount the windows shares through /etc/fstab.  Currently I 
mount them as needed and have a couple of bash scripts set up so that I 
don't have to remember all of the mount parameters.  What follows is a 
typical command:

   smbmount //chubby/arthur_home /mnt/chubby/arthur -o
   ¨credentials=/home/arthur/.arthur_smb,uid=arthur,gid=arthur.fmask=777,dmask=777¨

//chubby/arthur_home is essentially my ¨windows home directory¨ 
c:\windows\profiles\arthur\, so I have no security concerns with the 777 
mask.
The credentials file stores my username and password set for the windows 
share.
In short, I am trying to define as broad access as possible, and am 
succeeding in that.

My problem is that despite the credentials file, the command prompts me 
for my password before mounting.  My concern is that this will prevent 
the shares from automatically mounting at boot time via fstab, and I 
have been warned that fstab problems will prevent booting.

Anyone see my problem with my mount command or any other suggestion with 
mounting the shares at boot time?
