I have the following line in my /etc/fstab

//ISH/dls /mnt/ish smbfs noauto,users,password=
0 0
that works fine with TuxCmd
(i.e., mounts on clicking or shows errors if any)

but if I change it to:
//ISH/dls /mnt/ish smbfs noauto,users 0 0

TuxCmd simply hangs on clicking...(doesn't ask for the
password)

actually, not just TuxCmd hangs, it causes my whole
desktop to freeze. (I am using XFce4). Even killing the
mount process or TuxCmd doesn't restore control. I have
to kill my Xserver.

I don't think its a problem with XFce4. Nothing else
causes it to freeze forever.

    This is not a bug, this is a feature. Mounting filesystems
    requiring password input is not currently supported, since
    Tux Commander doesn't have a password dialog and capture
    functions.

    It is on the To-Do list now, but I am not sure, if there
    won't be troubles with pasting a string to the subprocess'
    stdin.
