(selinux isn't even built into the kernel here) ---- only root can make permanent mounts...you should have learned that by now. If you look at man page for smbclient or just type smbclient --help, you will see that there is an option to supply the 'user' name (-U) you can either create 'user' entries in /etc/fstab or make virtual mounted file systems like Sam is demonstrating or you can use just open konqueror (I believe you use KDE) and entering... 'smb:///' in the address bar for a cifs/smb browser on your local network. You can also create auto mounts (see /etc/auto.*) which I have never done with smb/cifs servers but I know they can be done.
