Store SMB credentials in the kernel keyring

cifscreds saves a username and password in the kernel keyring for a host, so multi-user CIFS mounts can authenticate per user without embedding passwords in mount options. The credentials live in the session keyring and expire with the session. Clear them with cifscreds clear nas.
