Clarification on samba share


I want to mount my windows share so I can read/write to it, and I want to mount it without having to be root, I made a credentials file, and so this is what I came up with for my fstab, does it look ok, or is there something that I should change?

Code:
//minamoto/FILES /mnt/network       smbfs        credentials=/etc/credentials,rw   0   0

that won't allow user mounting, you'd need to add "users" to the options list, but it would mount on boot either way, so maybe that's all you mean. other than that... looks fine.

ok, this is what I have now

Code:
//minamoto/FILES /mnt/network     smbfs           noauto,users,rw,credentials=/etc/credentials     0   0
And so now when I try to mount as user, instead of root, I get this error message...

Code:
samurai@hideyoshi:~$ mount //minamoto/FILES
smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (1000,1000)
smbmnt failed: 1
What now?
