"Automagic" mount (at boot time) of a windows folder in FreeBSD 7!
------------------------------------------------------------------

* Enviroment:
 - shared folder in windows 2003 with user/pass
 - FreeBSD 7.00
 
* Pre:
 - smbclient to check the permissions
 - mount_smbfs should be available. It will load the correct .ko in the kernel.
 
* First Checks:
 - check with smbclient if you can access to the shared folder with the user/pass (smbclient implements CIFS directly without kernel or fs layer)
 
* Procedure:
 - Create a /etc/hosts entry with the windows name of the box and his IP. By example:
            10.0.0.14               sbsserver
 - Create line in the fstab file (/etc/fstab) like:
            //user@sbsserver/dir      /mnt/windowslocal    smbfs   rw       0       0
    - user: windows user
    - dir: it is the windows shared folder
 - Create credentials in /etc/nsmb.conf like:
           [SBSSERVER:USER]
           password=mypass
 
========= STOP HERE - VERY IMPORTANT!!!! ==================
 In the /etc/nsmb.conf the CAPS is a MUST! hostname and user MUST be in CAPS!
===========================================================
 
 - "mount /mnt/windowslocal" should work without ask the password.
 - If everything is ok, when the system is booting, it should mount the shared folder from windows.
