1	Yes, something along the lines of in fstab (watch the wrapping):

3	//win-server/share /mnt/mountname smbfs
4	credentials=/etc/.smb.creds,workgroup=myworkgroup,fmask=664,dmask=775,uid=nobody,gid=someusers,rw
5	0 0
6
7	The smb.creds file contains the necessary login information for the windows
8	box. I googled and looked at the mount man page to get the above.
