samba - Jun 2002 - How to automatically mount shares.

Hi list, I've installed samba 2.2.3a on my Linux box.
I have to join into an NT4 domain and all works fine.
I've got only a question:
Now I'm able to mount the NT share with the command:
mount -t smbfs -o username=morgan,password=morgan //SERVERNT/DISC /mnt
and it works only if I am root.
Is there any possibility of mounting it automatically on boot?
I've tough about /etc/fstab but I don't if there is a correct syntax to
include username and password.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You can use the credentials option:
//SERVER/DISC  /mnt smbfs 
credentials=/home/morgan/.smbpw,uid=morgan,gid=morgan,fmask=600,dmask=700

Where .smbpw file contains the following lines:*
username=morgan
password=morgan

pam_mount (http://pam-mount.conectevil.com/) might be the best
solution. I've installed the package yesterday but haven't managed to
make it work with winbind yet.

Regards.

You could put that command into rc.local or its equivalent on your system.

It works!Thanks a lot.
Where did you find that option? I can't find it in man
pages.

I'm a beginner with pam.I'll try to understand how does it works.
Thanks again.
