You need to enter the sudo password first, and the password to mount the =
share second.

Alternatively, you could edit the sudo config file to allow wheel users =
to do that command with no password. I think it would look something =
like this:

	# Let wheel users mount_smbfs whatever they want without their password
	%wheel	ALL=3D(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mount_smbfs
