mount - Mounting samba share with root priveleges 12.10

How to permanently mount samba share with root priveleges? I've used this FAQ but still getting the same error.
The point is i don't want to send credentials in plane text.



User credentials file:



username=USER
password=password
domain=sanctuary



smb.conf:



    [global]
valid users = USER
browsable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = no
available = yes
public = no

writable = yes
comment = USH
security = user
workgroup = Sanctuary
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
unix password sync = yes

[share]
comment = archive

path = /share
directory mask = 0777
create mask = 0777


fstab line:



fstab: //192.168.1.50/share /media/share cifs credentials=/etc/samba/user,rw,uid=USER,iocharset=utf8,user,noauto,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0



error:



mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.50/share,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so



From connect to server menu in nautilus share mounts fine and dandy, but... again no root.



Update:



After simplifying a line in fstab to



fstab //192.168.1.50/share /media/share cifs credentials=/etc/samba/user,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0


i get the error:




mount: only root can mount //192.168.1.50/share on /media/share


Update 2



Actually i got share mounted with:



sudo apt-get install cifs-utils



But i still cannot write inside it - is says Permission denied



Update 3 SOLVED



Source of proublem was messed up/non-tweaked permissions



Execute



sudo chmod 777 /share



on server helped.
