Based on that advice, I'm trying:

//machine/share /mnt/mymountpoint smb
context=root:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t,username=myusername,password=m
ypass,exec,rw,uid=500,gid=48,fmask=0775 0 0

Unfortunately to no avail. It looks like smbmount ignores the
"context=..." part. :(

Thanks heaps for your help. Having such a speedy reply is appreciated.
