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.
