Have you considered autofs? IMHO a much better method for mounting frequently used remote file systems. Once you get autofs going (man autofs, automount, and auto.master), an entry in auto.misc like this: test - fstype=smbfs,username=tridge,password=foobar ://fjall/test will mount the smb share from //fjall/test in /misc/test whenever it is needed and dismount after a presetinactive period. for regular mounting use: mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /misc/test (ripped from man smbmount)
