You can specify User and Group ownership by number. (Replace "500" with the value correct for your system.) Get those from the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files respectivly. //10.7.7.20/Data /mnt/WinXP smbfs uid=500,gid=500,credentials=/etc/smb.txt The "credentials" paramenter points to file with the following format: username = YourUserName password = YourPassword The drawback here is having your UserID and password in plain text file. I at recommend: chmod 600 /etc/smb.txt chown root:root /etc/smb.txt So it's at least only readable by root.
