Since smbfs runs in the kernel, the problem here would seem to be getting 
the user's ticket to authenticate to the server with ...

We have made changes to winbindd to allow us to retrieve tickets for 
various principals from within the kernel, so, in principle, it is 
doable. However, I don't believe that smbfs does it yet. I could be wrong, 
however.
