Ok, I'll warn 'ya, my setup is bizarre :)

# I see that there is no password (it would have appeared as an XXXXX

No passwords are used. And no, if I run stuff manually, I don't get
prompted for a password.
# Since you are using autofs, are you using my shell script
# <http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html> or another script for
Another, a very simple one:
[/sbin/mount.smb]
#!/bin/sh
CPATH=$1
POINT=$2
OPT=$3
NEW="\\\\`echo $CPATH | cut -f1 -d:`"
SHARE=`echo $CPATH | cut -f2 -d/`
NEWSHARE="$NEW\\$SHARE"
#echo smbmount $NEWSHARE -c "mount $POINT -u 0 -g 0"
smbmount $NEWSHARE -c "mount $POINT -u 0 -g 0" &
sleep 10
killall -HUP smbmount
---I put the 'sleep && killall' because it ``fixed'' my problem (sending any signal to smbmount makes it exit and continue normally).
This is hackish, very much so. But I was just testing for right now.
# I also see that the -N option (no password) is NOT present. That # makes me even more suspicious that smbmount is attempting to prompt for # a password and you are hung there waiting...
I don't think so. If I run
/sbin/mount.smb tao:/c /mnt1
it works just fine. But anyhook, I just changed my script to use -N on smbmount and it didn't make any difference.
G'day!
