New versions of samba support the credentials= option in fstab, which
lets you specify a file to read a username and password from. So you
can have a line like the following in your fstab:
//stage/swads_test /mnt smbfs credentials=/etc/domain-login 0 0
where /etc/domain-login contains the login name and password for the
share:
username = joebob
password = s3krit
And everything will work goodly. The advantage to this approach is that
/etc/domain-login can be readable only by root. Check the smbmount(8)
man page for details.
