No?  Are you saying that the instructions I gave don't work?  They work
fine, you merely provided an alternative way to do it.  If the Windows
share is open to everyone, then I don't see a problem with putting your
credentials in /etc/fstab.  If the credentials are confidential, and you
have users who can view the fstab file, then using the 'credentials='
option would be a better idea.  If nobody has shell access to the box it
doesn't matter which way you do it.
