They do not need to. smbmount (called by mount) works with the smbfs
driver in the kernel.

Nah, too simple :-)

(that were 3 cents. But maybe EURO ones :-)
Actually, it is indeed in the docs (shame on me), which was revealed in
a private theadlet. The following fstab line will do the job (although
not yet tested):
Q> //Marc/My\040Documents /mnt/Marc smbfs <options> 0 0

PS: You never stop learning Linux -- even not after four years. Today I
came up with this _very_ Unix-style command to watch the progress of my
seti@home clients downloading new work units:
Q> while true; do
Q> echo -n $'\r'$(du -s setiathome/setiathome-*/w* | cut -d$'\t' -f1
Q> | xargs echo | sed -e 's/ /+/g'| bc)
Q> sleep 1
Q> done
when I realized that it would have been far easier to use 'du -c' :-)
