I haven't actually used it (yet), but there is a POSIX extension to CIFS
which might prove to be useful.  Normally, CIFS filesystems don't
support POSIX permissions, which is problematic especially when using it
for a home directory... the POSIX extension to it might help.  Note that
both the CIFS server and client have to be able to use the extension.
