It's worth noting (as I reported on #531748) that autofs4 came with such functionality and you can actually use the /etc/auto.smb from autofs4 with autofs5 to get the credentials facility back.

Something like this should do the trick

improvement to autofs to include configurable options per host Edit (464 bytes, text/plain)

makes more sense instead of having just a file with the credentials, you could just have a file with additional parameters.
You can of course then include the credentials with username=xxx,password=xxx
this way you can include other options that you might need such as uid,gid, nounix etc
