.. on this theme is to place the details in /etc/samba/smbfstab which is NOT world readable by everyone. A default smbfstab looks like


# This file allows you to mount SMB/ CIFS shares during system
# boot while hiding passwords to other people than root.  Use
# /etc/fstab for public available services.  You have to specify
# at least a service name and a mount
# point.  Current default vfstype is smbfs.
#
# Possible vfstypes are smbfs and cifs.
#
# service       moint-point     vfstype options

//fjall/test    /data/test      cifs username=tridge,password=foobar
