That is a security hole cause anyone that does a ps -aux can see the
username and password .. its better to refer to a file for the
authentication info.
ie from a fictional fstab file .....
//windozebox/big_disk_1 /mnt/big_disk_1 smbfs
credentials=/etc/samba/auth.windozebox.Administrator 0 0
and from the fictional credentials file .....
username = Administrator
domain = MYDOMAIN
password = asecret
