mostly. "noauto" it doesn't seem to like for some reason (grr).

Remember, you call mount not smbmount to mount an smb volume (mount 
calls smbmount itsself), so anything mount is ok with for the "smb" 
fstype will work.

I used to have a bunch of smb mounts in the fstab of the server here at 
work but instead I now use a simple file with autofs to automount them 
on demand.
