This is a good time for a r3VOLution.

> The autofs configuration below allows any user to create a
> .secret.txt in $HOME and then depend on the autofs daemon to perform
> mounts in the /smb tree using their credentials, like this:

> ls /smb/server/share/dir1/.../dirN

> $ cat /etc/auto.master
> <snip>
> /smb /etc/auto.smb.top
> <snip>

> $ cat /etc/auto.smb.top
> * -fstype=autofs,-Dhost=& file:/etc/auto.smb.sub

> $ cat /etc/auto.smb.sub
> * -fstype=cifs,credentials=${HOME}/.secret.txt,uid=${UID},gid=${EUID}
> ://${host}/&

> Yes, it's got problems and implications:
> - root can read that .secret.txt file and get direct access to the
> user's CIFS credentials.
> - a second user on the system trying to access an already-mounted
> share will be blocked by the previous auto-mount.

> ... but it's pretty sweet for 80+% of use-cases.
