There was also an issue in non-interactive mode where it still tried to read the passphrase when mounting a network share. Note that susmb might not have the exact same features or goals as usmb. For example I intentionally merged the code in one file and removed some abstractions to make it more readable (in my opinion). I'm happy to make a release version if it helps you. Please let me know. Small patches and improvements are welcome. For example the privdrop code could be improved further. ( A brief overview of changes are listed here: https://git.codemadness.org/susmb/file/README.html#l71 ) -- Kind regards, Hiltjo
