I use smbmount together with autofs. Since the smbmount syntax has
changed various times, I have been using Michael Warfields smbmount.sh
script. That is now out-of-date and I am in the process of rewriting
the script for newer smbmount versions.

hpa has asked for a list of options before so I will send in the
list to whom it may concern:

* smbmount 2.0.1/2.0.2

usage: smbmount //server/service mount-point [options]
Version 2.0.2

-p port        Port to connect to (used only for testing)
-m max_xmit    max_xmit offered (used only for testing)

-s servername  Netbios name of server
-c clientname  Netbios name of client
-I machinename The hostname of the machine
-U username    Username sent to server
-D domain      Domain name
-u uid         uid the mounted files get
-g gid         gid the mounted files get
-f mode        permission the files get (octal notation)
-d mode        permission the dirs get (octal notation)
-C             Don't convert password to uppercase
-P password    Use this password
-n             Do not use any password
               If neither -P nor -n are given, you are
               asked for a password.
-h             print this help text

* smbmount 2.0.3/2.0.4/2.0.4a/2.0.4b

Usage: smbmount service <password> [-p port] [-d debuglevel] [-l log] 
Version 2.0.3
        -p port               connect to the specified port
        -d debuglevel         set the debuglevel
        -l log basename.      Basename for log/debug files
        -n netbios name.      Use this name as my netbios name
        -N                    don't ask for a password
        -m max protocol       set the max protocol level
        -I dest IP            use this IP to connect to
        -E                    write messages to stderr instead of stdout
        -U username           set the network username
        -W workgroup          set the workgroup name
        -c command string     execute semicolon separated commands
        -t terminal code      terminal i/o code {sjis|euc|jis7|jis8|junet|hex}
        -D directory          start from directory

* smbmount 2.0.5/2.0.5a

Usage: smbmount //server/share mountpoint [options ...]
Version 2.0.5a
        -d debuglevel         set the debuglevel
        -n netbios name.      Use this name as my netbios name
        -N                    don't ask for a password
        -I dest IP            use this IP to connect to
        -E                    write messages to stderr instead of stdout
        -U username           set the network username
        -W workgroup          set the workgroup name
        -t terminal code      terminal i/o code {sjis|euc|jis7|jis8|junet|hex}

As you can see, the mountpoint syntax is back to the original usage.
The most important difference between the oldest version and newer versions
is the use of -n/-N for no password. The password is now supplied with
-U user%password

Best regards
Kevin
