Hi,

On my 5.1 system the example file its in
/usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc
You need to create your own /root/.snmbrc and add the authentication details
there.
My .nsmbrc file looks like this and it works without asking for password:

[NTSERVER:ADMINISTRATOR]
# use persistent password cache for user 'administrator'
password=myplaintextpassword

And then when I issue the following command as root it doesnt ask for a
password
mount_smbfs -I 192.168.1.2 //administrator@ntserver/docs /mnt


Good luck,

Marian
