Win Active Directory connections

One suggestion for mounting Active Directory shares via /etc/fstab is to add
an entry:
//server/share /mount/point smbfs credentials=<path to credentials
file> 0 0
and create a credentials file containing:
username = myaccount
password = mypassword
Obviously this leaves "mypassword" in clear text and it is only as secure as
the credentials file.
Since I set local username and password to be the same as my AD username and
password, is there a way that I can get the "mypassword" entry to point to
my encrypted local password (wherever that might be stored)?
TIA
Paul
