So I tried what you suggest above. My line in fstab is:
//tucc-tiger/users /private  smbfs   noauto,user

First, smbmnt must be suid root for the mount to work.
When I do a; mount /private
the request is for a passwd not a passwd and username. Then I get an
error: cannot mount on /private: Operation not permitted
smbmnt failed: 1

Where have I gone wrong?
