I automount shares from my NT server on my workstations.  As far as I know, 
the only two ways to do this are to either create an account on the NT server 
for the purpose of mounting the drive, which account has no password, or to 
put the password in the configuration file for automount (in plain text).

There may be a way to do this using pamSMB, but I have only looked at it, not 
pursued it.

Unfortunately, documentation for Samba presumes a Samba server and Windows 
workstations; using Linux workstations on an NT network is possible but not 
well documented.
