I can get everything to work expect for the password part. With this in 
/etc/fstab

//bfosdick at 129.197.36.34/net-11 /sp/net-11      smbfs   rw      0      0

and this in /etc/nsmb.conf

[129.197.36.34]
addr=129.197.36.34
workgroup=acct01
password=<secret>

If I do 'mount /sp/net-11' it asks me for my password instead of looking 
in the config file.

If I try 'mount_smbfs -N //bfosdick at 129.197.36.34/net-11' I get

mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error

The password I put in /etc/nsmb.conf is just the output from smbutil crypt.
