westk[@westek]:/home/westk:> sudo mount -t cifs -o user=westk 
//faculty/web mnt
Password:  <--- for the sudo command
Password:
mount error 112 = Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

westk[@westek]:/home/westk:> smbmount //faculty/web mnt -o username=westk
Password:

westk[@westek]:/home/westk:> ls mnt
Network Trash Folder  public_html


So this syntax doesn't work. Also, this syntax still doesn't specify a 
"secrets" file so I can move the password out of the command itself.

Thanks for the suggestion, though!
