Well that didn't look the way I wanted it to look like. Shouldn't be a 
sig. So again:

Hi,

just want to answer to that old mail.

I have it done as follows:

//way/2/otherpc /mnt/mountpoint cifs 
noatime,credentials=/root/.credentials,uid=1000,umask=000,user  0 0

and the file /.credentials can only be read by root. In there is my 
password and username:

username=myusername
password=mypswd
