I figured it out:
1. Configuration file for mount_smbfs -N option must be /etc/nsmb.conf:
a. /usr/home/dpchrist/.nsmbrc does not work.
b. /usr/local/etc/nsmb.conf does not work.
c. /root/.nsmbrc works when mount_smbfs is invoked from the
command line, but fails at boot.
2. The (SMB) user name and host name in /etc/nsmb.conf must be upper
case (my workgroup name was already upper case).
3. For better security, I adjusted permissions of /etc/nsmb.conf and
encrypted my (SMB) password using smbutil(1).
A console session follows.
