Mount SMB share on bootup

When I try the smbmount I get a "command not Found"

I checked the man pages on mount and found mount_smbfs, but I can not find
any options that would allow me to specify a username and password.

I am not using Samba (at least I didn't load it... may be there by
default???) - To map the drive I have a line in my /etc/fstab file that
reads:

# Device			#Mountpoint	FSType	OPtion	
//user at server/share	/ftproot	smbfs	rw.nosuto	0	0

Once the server boots, I type "mount /ftproot" and then it asks me for the
password for User.  After the password is entered, /ftproot contains the
contents of the share on my XP system.  It was one of the things that I fell
in love with about BSD - the ability to "see" XP shares with no special
"magic".

So anyway - I think there are several different approaches to this.  Can I
modify my fstab file so that "auto" would work by somehow specifing a
password?  Or is there a password option that I am missing in the mount or
mount_smbfs commands?  OR...  is there a reason I don't have the smbmount
command?

Thank you for all your help!
