smbfs (not userspace) works just fine (*) with kerberos.

All kerberos work is done by smbmount (userspace) and that code is the
same as the one used by smbclient. The filesystem parts doesn't care about
kerberos when it is only used for authentication.

smbfs signals back to smbmount if it wants it to reconnect. But perhaps
you wanted more than authentication.
