Actually, it does, but it's a little different. I use smbfs mounted
automatically by fstab on fbsd all the time. Setup the file
/etc/nsmb.conf as follows:
# First, define a workgroup.
[default]
workgroup=MYWORKGROUP
[SERVER:USER]
password=secret
replacing MYWORKGROUP, SERVER, USER, secret as neccessary. Make sure
nsmb.conf is only readable by root. Add the following line to fstab:
//user@server/share /mnt/share smbfs rw 0 0
replacing user, server, share, and the local mount point as neccessary.
The permissions for files in the mounted fs will be owned by the user
and group of /mnt/share and files will have the same permissions as
/mnt/share, but directories will allow have execute permission
everywhere that they have read permission so I set /mnt/share with
permissions 644 even though it's a directory and set the owner and group
to my usual user.
Before mount:
$ ls -ld /mnt/share
drw-r--r-- 1 user users 16384 Dec 31 1969 /mnt/share
After mount:
b$ ls -l /mnt/proj
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 1120810 May 14 2004 some-file
drwxr-xr-x 1 user users 16384 Oct 24 23:35 a-directory

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
