At one point there was an option you put in the entry in fstab named
credentials which pointed at a file containing the username and password
for mounting the smb share.

Something along the lines of:

//test.acme.com/smbshare /smb/test smbfs credentials=/home/jruser/.smbpw,uid=jruser,gid=jrgrp,fmask=664,dmask=755 0 0

.smbpw:

username=domain\user
password=PASS

I haven't done it recently so I don't know if that still works. I imagine
poking about with man should provide the answer.
