Absolutely. The web page is a bit out of date but
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/smbfs/
When you log in, the password is stored in memory (as plain text), but
samba uses a hash (md4?) on the wire.
You need to install
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/smbfs/cifsmount-0.6-4.el4.i386.rpm
and http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/smbfs/smbpwman-0.6-5.el4.i386.rpm
and to configure /etc/pam.d/system-auth /etc/auto.master and
/etc/smbautomount.conf
I am happy to provide help to set it up.
RHEL4 cifs driver has a bug with listing directories. The web page
(above) also has instructions on how to build a working replacement driver.

Is there a method or way that will allow one to automagically mount
samba shares requiring a password w/o using a plain text password?
Even if I have to store the plaintext password in a file, is there at
least a way to keep plain text passwords going over the network
(IPSec perhaps)?
