I just add an entry in /etc/fstab like this

/sbin/mount_smbfs   //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/interchk    /mnt/interchk

  I use this command to mount my sophos em library share running on XP to my
BSD 5.0 machine and then symbolically link the /mnt/interchk to the root of
webserver for remote update via http.
