I have: 1. An Apple silicon machine running Sequoia 15.2, with zsh 5.9 (arm64-apple-darwin24.0). 2. A Windows 10 machine with an NTFS internal drive that I want to mount to the Mac. 3. A password on the Windows machine that cannot be changed, and contains three special characters. The password, with the letters and numbers obfuscated is: ****^*******%) (all * are either numbers or letters). This command works to mount the drive, but prompts for the password: mount -t smbfs //[email protected]/D /Users/Shared/Windows-D\ How can I pass the password with the mount command in a format that Windows can read? The password can be passed either through Keychain or in plain text in the command; but I don't know how to do either successfully. I have "A User's Guide to the Z-Shell" available, but it was a bit overwhelming for me. Thanks, Ken
