Did you try using /etc/nsbm.conf for worgroup, username, and PC name
instead of providing it directly on the command line? If I remember
correctly, something like this (not tested!) should work:

	[WIN-PC:user at domain.com]
	password=12345

The format is <server>:<user>:<share>, with the last two entries
being optional. See "man 5 nsmb.conf" as well as the comment header
of /etc/nsmb.conf for details.

You can then use:

	mount_smbfs <more options> //WIN-PC/Share $HOME/Win-Pictures

Similarly, you can use a rule derived from this command in /etc/fstab
in case you need this mount command more than once.

Memory fragment from long time ago... ;-)



PS. Common suggestion is to use "example.com" (instead of "domain.com")
    as a placeholder.
