Sorry - I've written a batch file for DOS/Windows.
Linux users should use a shell script.
There are several options to run this shell:

        /etc/profile.d/<specialscript.sh>
        (is run when the user logs in)
        Icon on the desktop
        (must be clicked to run)
        command in ~/.Xdefaults
        (is run when an X session is started)

> 1. What credentials should I put in fstab?

None. "/etc/fstab" is not necessary for mounting.
And the special user share can't be mounted via the (global) "/etc/ 
fstab".

Which linux distribution is installed on the clients? Which GUI is  
installed: KDE or something else?

That is one way.

pure shell script:

#! /bin/bash
Credfile=~/.sambacred
test -s $Credfile && source $Credfile || exit 1
# and now the username and the password for the shares on the
# server are known
mount.cifs ...
#


Viele Gruesse!
