Tim,
is not in general a good practice to write your user and password in a plain
text file like fstab. For this is reccommended the use of credential file
with 600 as permission. But this is a different issue from uid and gid,
specified for assigning (only in the Linux box) user and group to the
externals files in the SMB share.
So, Nathaniel have to put uid and gid in the fstab file for the correct
user, and continue to use the credential file for the User/Password for the
M$ box
