Ok, I tried the inline password form, and it is still mounted, except pagefile.sys is inaccessible. Hmm, really wanted to screw with my NT box's paging. ;) (j/k). I last mounted that partition this morning, when I sent my last message. So, I guess this would really be a samba problem, and not a kernel problem.
However, I really don't like entering the password that way. A grep on .bash_history for the password is plenty of reason for *that* little bias! Too bad there's not a way to alert bash that a particular string is actually a password, and that that string shouldn't be kept in ~/.bash_history.
