I tried adding

//pclueyb/public        /mnt2/samba              smbfs   user,noauto    

to /etc/fstab , but 
mount /mnt2/samba

gave me

[root@pclueyb /mnt2]# mount samba/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //pclueyb/public,
       or too many mounted file systems
[root@pclueyb /mnt2]#                   

I have mount-2.8a-2, smbfs-2.0.1-4, and samba-2.0.

Thanks,

Ben
