I'm trying to mount directories from remote computers.  I do fine mounting
from root, but I can't get it to work with the 'user' option in fstab.  The
relevant line in fstab is:

//servo/TimDocs /servo/TimDocs smbfs guest,rw,user,noauto,fmask=777  0  0

If I'm logged in as root this mounts just fine when I do
mount /servo/TimDocs

but it gives me an error message when I try this from a normal login.

I did try making this 'auto' in fstab, but it appears that 'mount -a' gets
run before Samba comes up -- and I'd just as soon not have this
automatically mounting, because the machines in question aren't always on.

So how _do_ I get this working?

Thanks.
