Hi all!

I've been hacking my /etc/fstab trying to get it to automount remote Samba 
shares from our server. I hope someone can help me with some questions:

1. How do you set the default smbfs options? I know you can place
   options in /etc/fstab, but it seems there are other options
   being set without my putting them in /etc/fstab. For example,
   the "noexec" option is set even though I never specified it.

2. Won't a simple line in /etc/fstab (without the "noauto" option)
   suffice to get a share to be mounted upon boot? I know this is
   SUPPOSED to be the way things work in RH9, but the shares don't
   get mounted. They do work, however, when I simply issue:

      mount <mount-point>

   Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks in advance! God bless!
