I set up samba shares thus:
//zeus/cma /smb/cma cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,uid=clive,gid=staff,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
//zeus/clive /smb/clive cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
//zeus/misc /smb/misc cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
They are permanently mounted, I've not tried auto. I used the use smbfs
but I understand it is depricated in favour of cifs.
