If you want to mount Windows shares without Samba, though, you need SMBFS and a comman like:
mount_smbfs -W [Workgroup or Domain] -I [IP address of Windows server] //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 script) line, but I've never gotten that to work.
