in /etc/fstab:
//<server>/<share> /mnt/point smbfs workgroup=<domain>,credentials=/etc/smbpassword 0 0
in /etc/smbpassword:
username=<user>
password=<password>
Note that you should not add domain to the <user> in credentials file but put it as a separate option for smbmount.
Hope it helps, Igor

Background: Linux, Debian (Sarge). I want to auto-mount an smbfs at boot. smbmount version is 3.0.7-Debian.
With the following in my fstab, I can do the mount as root, but have to provide a password (hence either I can't boot unattended, or can't mount it during boot):
//<server>/<share> /mnt/point smbfs user,noauto,username=<user>/<domain>,uid=<user>,gid=<user> 0 0
I can make it automount by providing the password:
//<server>/<share> /mnt/point smbfs user,noauto,username=<user>/<domain>,uid=<user>,gid=<user>,password=<password> 0 0
but this is insecure. I tried using credentials:
//<server>/<share> /mnt/point smbfs user,noauto,username=<user>/<domain>,uid=<user>,gid=<user>,credentials=/etc/smbpassword 0 0
where /etc/smbpassword contains
username=<user>/<domain> password=<password>
but I get an error: 1741: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed
(I think '1741' is a PID - it changes each time.)
To forstall some suggestions:
* There are no non-alphanumeric charaters in <user>, <domain>,
<password> etc.
* There is a newline at the end of /etc/smbpassword
* I've tried from the command line using 'smbmount', with the same
results - works with "password=" but not with "credentials="
* I've tried giving the credentials file liberal permissions (666)
* The password in the credentials file is correct - I've cut-and-pasted
it to command line and had it work
* I've tried (from command line) without the extra options like 'user'
and 'noauto'.
* Yes, I've googled - I found several others with the same problem, but
no solution. http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-November/002040.html
