        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

          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

          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.

                  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)
