I have a small local network with some windoz boxes. I want to mount the 
shared disk of Windoz box when Linux mounts all other disks. So I put the 
following line in
my /etc/fstab
/win1/cdrive /winshare/c1 smbfs user=<winuser>,password=<passwd>,gid=503 0 0

But I never see that samba share mounted when I boot. But after booting if I 
just say 'mount /winshare/c1' as root it just works properly. Do I have to 
do something more to automatically mount the samba share?

I know that storing my windows share password in clear text is a bad idea. 
/etc/fstab is readable only by root. But is there a better way?
