Thank you for your reply. Yes, that's what I did at those two Password: prompts above. Otherwise, sudo would have put one of it's silly error messages after the first password propt. > 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: I did modify sudoers to allow wheel to run that without a sudo password, and I still get the error after entering the correct share password. Password: mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error The same mount_smbfs command line and the same password works when I run the command as root.
