When mounting a drive (listed in /etc/fstab) such as a an SMB, or encrypted loop mount the 'mount' command will prompt for a password. However when mounting that drive through gnome-vfs, there's nowhere for the user to enter the required password.
This patch adds functionality to gnome-vfs so that when the 'mount' command requests a password it prompts using a gnome-vfs-auth dialog. Patch: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=50425 Bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157650 The 'mount' command prompts for passwords on /dev/tty. The patch opens a tty and forks the 'mount' command with that as its stdin and stdout. It then waits for a 'password:' string, etc... This is a rough and incomplete patch, but I want to make sure this makes sense and I haven't missed anything obvious.
