We use Kerberos for authentication, which means that after you've logged in
with your Windows password (we auth against the Truman AD server), a ticket
is cached.  After logging in, I'm able to do something like this:

$ smbmount //hydrogen.truman.edu/dbindner ./ydrive -o sec=krb5

You have to have made the appropriate /sbin/[u]mount.{smbfs,cifs} files mode
4755 for regular users to pull this off without sudo.  Check out
dpkg-statoverride for Debian derived distros like Ubuntu.
