currently I mount my XP share via: mount_smbfs -N //a7v133/raid

How can I get put this in my /etc/fstab so that it doesn't prompt me
for a password upon bootup. This winshare is accessible without a
password and by anyone. I have read through seveal forums and read
man pages gallore, but I still remain unsuccessful.
5.3-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p1 #0
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:
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public/smb/public smbfs rw,noauto 00
[/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.

If you want this to mount from the fstab at system boot, remove the noauto
flag and place an -N in the string:
#//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share_name /mount_pointsmbfs rw,-N
That will read the password information from the users .nsmbrc file as Ash
stated, or, if you want it system wide, use the /etc/nsmb.conf file instead.
