Tried this but no go. I first tried exactly as you suggested
then tried username=myusername,password=mypassword, but neither worked.
I got Reported error:
smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts
(500,500) smbmnt failed:1
simply add username=user,password=pass, before the noauto,
make sure you
have the comma after the pass and before the noauto, no
spaces :-)

Subject: More progress
After some replies, more experimenting and reading,
I added the lines below to the /etc/fstab file which seems to work to make
icons on my desktop which I can mount the shared windows drives with.
//Sydog/C /winshare/Sydog_C smbfs
noauto,_netdev,user 0 0
//Sydog/D /winshare/Sydog_D smbfs
noauto,_netdev,user 0 0
//X/C /winshare/X_C
smbfs noauto,_netdev,user 0 0
Next Question:
What do I change to allow the above to work as a
user rather than root? I also get prompted for root password when I try
Internet dialling as a user.
Is it as simple as adding the user into more groups
and if so which groups?

Subject: Much progress
Remember me? As a new Linux user, I asked
the group in December for some help to get past some initial hurdles.
After surfing/reading, advice from some of
you and even one person coming to my home I now have Internet connection
sharing working and sharing between Linux, Win98, Win 200 and WinXP. Thanks
to all of you who offered advice.
Next Question:
I used the following procedure to "mount a
windows share....
Create directory e.g /share
To mount....type
smbmount //winsys/winshare some-mount-point
Example for me (X = Win PC, C = share name)
smbmount //X/C /share
To unmount (my example)
smbumount -t smbfs /share
Is there a way this can be done
automatically (even if the Windows PC is off)?
