I got this response from the cifs mailing list but I really don't know
exactly what this fellow is saying to do. Can someone please help break
this down into "plain English" instructions? Thanks, Ohmster.

We use mount.cifs with autofs. We had to use the latest mount.cifs module
though, the one supplied in our RPM distribution wasn't current enough.
Here's the autofs config (you should be able to map this to a
mount.cifs commandline:
Here's the auto.master line:
/my/autofs/ /etc/auto.myfile --ghost --timeout=900
Here's the auto.myfile line:
site
-fstype=cifs,credentials=/etc/smbpasswd.cifs,directio,uid=myuid,gid=mygid
,rw,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0644,iocharset=utf8
://mycifsmountserver/myshare/path
Here's the format of /etc/smbpasswd.cifs
username=user
password=password
