      Put your username and password in a text file in your hidden /home/user/.config folder.
      Create this file /home/user/.config/smb_creds
      With this content

      username=SMBUser
password=SMBPassword

      Can I store domain there as well?

      You'd just enter the username as domain@user iirc

        @JaredBusch Isn't that automounting?

          I really like the idea of cred file. That would make things easy.

          Instead of autoconfig, I would like a script that I could use for connecting that breaks connection at reboot

            ok. That is easy enough.

              I'd make another script to unmount the shares when your done with them as well.

              #!/bin/bash
umount /mount/point

                You still should dismount the share (in a normal circumstance), but at least the approach @travisdh1 posted won't automount.

                  Combine the two suggestions.

                  Don't use fstab, use the mount. But don't prompt for the user/pass, read it from a config file.

unmount /mount/point

                    Might make that one big general dismount for all of the shares you might even use. Rather than a script per SMB server.

                      or domain\username depending on what type of domain you're connecting to.

                        I don't like unmounting multiple things with a single command. I've been burned by unmounting important things in the past.

                          On a side question, how do you guys deal with password changes and SMB shares that get mounted like this? Seems like it would be a pain in the rear to have to go and constantly update several files with new passwords every 90 days or so.

                            I know of no one who changes domain passwords that frequently - thank the maker. EHR passwords - that's another story.

                                That's why I suggested prompting for the password in that sample script.

                                  Would you manually set the username instead though? (because users)

                                          Also the command is umount not unmount atleast on Fedora 29.
