[vox-tech] problems interacting with windows share

[Jonathan Stickel]

I'm able to read and write to my department's windows (2000, I think) 
shared folders by first mounting like this:

$smbmount //server/share ~/mnt/share/ -o workgroup=WGRP username=user_name

After entering my password when prompted, I can read and write to the 
share through the mountpoint.  Have you tried this?

I have my own question:  when I try to include my windows password in 
the command line above (e.g. password=pass_word), I still get prompted 
for it.  Why is this?
