Yes, |

If you put it in fstab as filesystem type 'smbfs', and set the volume |
| 15 |
(usually /dev/hda/) to the share address (//sambahost/shared), you can |
| 16 |
specify the username and password in the options field. Normally this |
| 17 |
is 'defaults' or 'noauto,noatime' or something similar, but for samba |
| 18 |
you can put 'username=bob,password=pass'. Check the man page for |
| 19 |
smbmount. Anything that can be specified for the -o option is valid for |
| 20 |
that field. |

Hope that helps, |
