I know how to do it from the command line, but I want the shares to
automatically mount to directories under my home directory every time
I log on. Also, I want to be prompted for the password, unless it is the
same password I am using to log on to Ubuntu.

Do not tell me to add the lines to fstab -- it is bad practice to hard-code
passwords like that. What is the "proper" way to do this in Ubuntu? The
way a "desktop user" should be able to do it, without having to resort
to the command line?

Thank you,
