Making SMBMOUNT Permanent

I am connecting a Linux machine to shares on other Windows and Linux PC's through SMBMOUNT. I have no problem getting it to mount the shares to local directories and I can view them. But when I reboot the Linux machine I have to reSMBMOUNT all over again. What file do I edit? MTAB? FSTAB? or something else so that they will stay mounted?
Thanks

I find Linneibourhood a useful tool, for mounting and umounting shares, it also supports remounting at login

Try here for details

you just need to make an /etc/fstab entry. no need for all that linneighborhood junk, esp as it's not permanent....

add a line like...

//server/share /mnt/point smbfs user=xxxx,password=xxxx
