This means Windows is looking for login credentials before it will
allow you to access the share. Suppose you are user 'Jean' on your
Windows machine,"WINDOZE" and you use a password of "foo". You want to
get to the Windows share called "MYSHARE" and mount it locally on your
FBSD box on /mnt. Then the command is:


   mount_smbfs //j...@windoze/MYSHARE /mnt

You'll get prompted for a password and, when you enter it, the mount
will be established.

Same error:
milter# mount_smbfs //jnat...@fcisql01/DATA /mnt
Password:
mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error
milter#
