Default Re: Mounting remote fliesystems - Permanent or temporary?
The correct way is to use the smbfs service (/etc/init.d/smbfs). This reads /etc/samba/smbfstab which contains a list of filesystems to mount. It also is sequenced after the network is up so that it won't before that happens. It's probably configured from YaST. I'm guessing, but yast2-samba-client looks like the required package for the YaST menus.

However I don't use it myself, this is what I deduce from reading the comments and knowing how init scripts work. Maybe swerdna can explain it in more detail.
