CONFIGURATION

TkSmb uses two configuration files - a global one /etc/tksmbrc and a per-user one ~/.tksmbrc.

The per-user configuration file overrides any setting in the global file. A sample per-user file is in /usr/share/doc/tksmb/examples/tksmbrc. The various settings are:
USERNAME

Your username on the SMB network

C_GROUP

The name of your workgroup/domain.

netbiosname

Your machine’s SMB name.

BROADCAST

Your IP broadcast address − ifconfig should tell you.

DOWNLOAD

Where to download files to.

MountRoot

The directory to mount remote machines on using smbmount.

mountparams

Any options to be passed to smbmount.

timeout

How long to wait for network operations (default is 30 seconds).

password

Default password

H_PASS_HOST password

Password for host HOST.

SH_PASS_HOST_SHARE password

Password for share SHARE on host HOST.

CAVEATS

Storing plaintext passwords in ~/.tksmbrc is a really bad idea. At the very least, make the file non-readable by anyone but yourself (chmod 0600 ~/.tksmbrc).
