1. create a file anyware containing your credentials (I used
/etc/.smbcreds) mybe use a place that only you can access
Formate it like this
username=yourusername
password=yourpassword
2. run the mount command like this
mount -t cifs //server_ip/share /yourmountpoint/ -o
credentials=/etc/.smbcreds
I use this on fedora 13 with no problems and no password in the mount
command output
hope it helps
