Since Linux doesn't protect command line arguments or environment variables from other users, I recommend using the credentials file. It should be owned by root, and mode 0400. Even if you're on a single user system now, this is a good habit to develop.


it needs to be accessible to the user doing the mount: having it otherwise might be a security risk.

That often implies ownership by the user, but it could be owned by a group with several members, depending on context:
Accounts folk can access \\win2k3\accounts.
