Greetings, The title pretty much says it all. I've snooped everywhere and can't find anything on this.

NAME
cifscreds - manage NTLM credentials in kernel keyring SYNOPSIS
cifscreds add|clear|clearall|update [-u username] [-d] host|domain DESCRIPTION
The cifscreds program is a tool for managing credentials (username and password) for the purpose of establishing sessions in multiuser mounts. When a cifs filesystem is mounted with the "multiuser" option, and does not use krb5 authentication, it needs to be able to get the credentials for each user from somewhere. The cifscreds program is the tool used to provide these credentials to the kernel. The first non-option argument to cifscreds is a command (see the COMMANDS section below). The second non-option argument is a hostname or address, or an NT domain name. COMMANDS
add Add credentials to the kernel to be used for connecting to the given server, or servers in the given domain. clear Clear credentials for a particular host or domain from the kernel. clearall Clear all cifs credentials from the kernel. update Update stored credentials in the kernel with a new username and password. OPTIONS
-d, --domain The provided host/domain argument is a NT domainname. Ordinarily the second argument provided to cifscreds is treated as a hostname or IP address. This option causes the cifscreds program to treat that argument as an NT domainname instead. If there are not host specific credentials for the mounted server, then the kernel will next look for a set of domain credentials equivalent to the domain= option provided at mount time. -u, --username Ordinarily, the username is derived from the unix username of the user adding the credentials. This option allows the user to substitute a different username. NOTES
The cifscreds utility requires a kernel built with support for the login key type. That key type was added in v3.3 in mainline Linux kernels. AUTHORS
The cifscreds program was originally developed by Igor Druzhinin <jaxbrigs@gmail.com>. This manpage and a redesign of the code was done by Jeff Layton <jlayton@samba.org>. 2012-01-24 CIFSCREDS(1)
