I've not used smb in years now, but i recall needing to suid
/usr/bin/smbmount ( the actual code that does the work ) in CentOS-4
to make this work.

cifs mounts don't use smbmount - they use mount.cifs ...

I've tried various combinations of options etc, but cannot get the
mounts to work for non-root users ... so I've given up and done what is
needed via sudo ...

ok, my point was that something under the hood needed suid for this to work. Not sure why cifs should not work though. Might be worth investigating.
