as the author of pam_cifs I would be glad to see a reference to the project in 
the cifs users's guide:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pam-cifs

What is pam_cifs?
pam_cifs is a pluggable authentication module for Linux (Linux-PAM). It allows 
you to transparently mount and unmount CIFS-shares from a CIFS (Samba, MS 
Windows) file server.  The mount is triggered when the user opens a session 
via usual login procedures (ssh, xdm, kdm, ...). The unmount is performed via 
an additional daemon shortly after the user logs off and no more user 
processes are active.
