If you want to mount Windows shares without Samba, though, you need SMBFS= and=20 a comman like: mount_smbfs -W [Workgroup or Domain] -I [IP address of Windows server]=20 //windowsuser@netbiosname/sharename /FreeBSD mount point This prompts you for a password. The docs say that a -N arguement may contain the password on the command = (or=20 script) line, but I've never gotten that to work.
