currently I mount my XP share via: mount_smbfs -N //a7v133/raid /storage1
How can I get put this in my /etc/fstab so that it doesn't prompt me for a password upon bootup. This winshare is accessible without a password and by anyone. I have read through seveal forums and read man pages gallore, but I still remain unsuccessful.
5.3-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p1 #0
From the man page for mount_smbfs(8):
[quote]
~/.nsmbrc Keeps static parameters for connections and other information.
See /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc for details.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...It is possible to use fstab(5) for smbfs mounts:
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public /smb/public smbfs rw,noauto 0 0

From /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc:
[quote]
# smbfs lookups configuration files in next order: # 1. ~/.nsmbrc # 2. /etc/nsmb.conf - if this file found it will # override values with same keys from user files.

You will have to store your password in cleartext, but you seem to already be doing this in home directory since you are using the -N flag.
