Ack! Don't mount remote filesystems using fstab if you can avoid it.
For smbfs shares, use smbclient, or it's X frontend linneighborhood to
mount them as users proper (go ahead and remove them from
/etc/fstab). With LinNeighborhood, the shares will be mounted in
~/mnt/ by default.
If you use KDE, consider lisa (klisa also provides lisa). You can
browse NFS, FTP, HTTP and SMB shares with lisa by opening konqueror
and going to rlan:/
