Default smb mounting question

I am really happy that FreeBSD has had SMBFS in userland for several years now. I just have one question with SMB mounts...

The SMB server is a Vista machine that requires username and password for connecting to shares. On Linux you simply add username=foo,password=bar to fstab and it works. FreeBSD complains that the username and password options in fstab are not supported.

How do I login to the SMB server with username and password parameters? I am comfortable with doing it by the CLI if need be but what I would really like is to do it all by fstab.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming you are using mount_smbfs, judging by the manual page, I would be taking a wild guess that: 0/ you can not use the user/password params because mount_smbfs apparently does not support -o username=foo, etc. 1/ It would seem, you need to specify the user in the fstab entry:

Code:
//guest@samba/public    /smb/public	   smbfs  rw,noauto 0	0
and 2/ for a required password, setup a nsmbrc for it to use during boot, and hope it will skip interactive prompting when pw is found there, without having to specify -N.

Brilliant the both of you! I have done some googleing on the location of .nsmbrc and am led to believe that it is in ~, correct?

it's been some time last i did such thing.
now i tried again.
here it goes
/etc/nsmb.conf
Code:
# The 'FSERVER' is an NT server.
[IP_OF_SHARE_SRV]
#charsets=koi8-r:cp866
addr=IP_OF_SHARE_SRV

[IP_OF_SHARE_SRV:guest]
# use persistent password cache for user 'joe'
password=aqddsfd
now the password is plain text (see man nsmb.conf) in my case there is no need of password so i put that thing.
for fstab entry as TerryP suggest - it work but if you dont want to see at boot time password prompt i suggest to put -N option i Options colon in fstab. so pretty much that's it
