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.

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.

Any other suggestions I might try?
