samba - Apr 2004 - smbmount, winbind and autofs

Hi all,
trying to automount the homedir on login on a 
Linux client to a Win PDC  (or Lin PDC for that matter)
This semms like a bright a idea, because it enables me to replace any 
Win workstation with a Lin Workstation, but:  

1. The password. Unable to give the password to autofs.

.....but even so, if I cleartext the password into the autofsmap: 

2. The share gets mounted by root, which means
USER cannot acces his own homedir :-(

So...I cannot use autofs ? Alternatives ? Workarounds ? Anybody ?
I think it would be  a useful thing, if it worked. 

Regards 
Dan
