I have the share in /etc/fstab and I've tried using the xfce4-mount plugin,
but when I click on the share to mount nothing happens. I suspect it has no
facility for asking me for my Samba password; I don't want that password
saved anywhere on the laptop.

It seems like such a simple task that I'm failing to find anything - any
suggestions? Am happy to use GNOME-based tools since I have most of that
installed anyway.


IIRC there's a PAM module which can mount (and unmount) smb shares
using your logon password - not exactly what you say you're looking
for but might be a way to solve the problem.
