How can I mount samba shared directory after system reboot?

I'm tried this:

mount -t cifs //server/dir /mnt/share -o username=user,password=password

Thanks.

This method works in Ubuntu 12.01:

Install cifs-utils: apt-get install cifs-utils

Create file .smbcredentials:

touch ~/.smbcredentials
chmod 0600 ~/.smbcredentials

Add to .smbcredentials your credintals:

username=shareuser
password=sharepassword
domain=domain_or_workgroupname

Edit your fstab file:
```
nano /etc/fstab
```

Add this line to fstab:

/server/share /pathto/mountpoint cifs credentials=/home/username/.smbcredentials,uid=shareuser,gid=sharegroup 0 0

Remount your drives(check errors):
```
sudo mount -a
```

I hope it's helped you
