Hi

I have OS 10.2 with samba installed.  I would like to try to have a
windows xp share folder automounted by samba, each time my laptop
connects to the network

I know I need to modify the fstab file and add the following like

mount -t smbfs //elcid/share /laptop-mount

It works, but obviously it pauses and ask for a password.  I would
like to send the password along with the mount command.  Checking
googles, I found that some people claims that it works if the
following command is addded 

mount -t smbfs //elcid/share /laptop-mount -o
username=user,password=password


well, on My OS 10.2 it complains that - o username= is not supported.
The man mount command shows many options but not any command to enter
a password or username.  I also should point out, how come smbmount
command is not available under OS 10.2 ??

please any help is greatly appreciated
