Thanks.

MOUNT_SMBFS(8)

     -N      Do not ask for a password.  At run time, mount_smbfs reads the
             ~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a
             password.  If no password is found, mount_smbfs prompts for it.
FILES
     ~/.nsmbrc  Keeps static parameters for connections and other information.
                See /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc for details.


Well, from /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc :

# smbfs lookups configuration files in next order:
#       1. ~/.nsmbrc
#       2. /usr/local/etc/nsmb.conf - if this file found it will
#          override values with same keys from user files.


But indeed from NSMB.CONF(5):

FILES
     /etc/nsmb.conf  The default remote mount-point configuration file.


So I guess this is left over from the times when mount_smbfs was not in
the base system. I'm curious what file it use if one uses samba.
