From the man page for mount_smbfs(8):
[quote]
~/.nsmbrc Keeps static parameters for connections and other information.
See /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc for details.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...
It is possible to use fstab(5) for smbfs mounts:
//guest@samba/public /smb/public smbfs rw,noauto 0 0
[/quote]
From /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc:
[quote]
# smbfs lookups configuration files in next order:
# 1. ~/.nsmbrc
# 2. /etc/nsmb.conf - if this file found it will
# override values with same keys from user files.
[/quote]
You will have to store your password in cleartext, but you seem to
already be doing this in home directory since you are using the -N flag.
