[Lias] Script help needed

[Simon Bryan]

Hi all,
At the moment I have a acript which accepts the username and password from the
command line and uses sudo mount .... to map users home directories from the real
server to a sub-directory in their home directory on our LTSP server. This works
fine, but has a couple of problems:
1. It has to be run from the command line
2. The username and password are typed n clear text on the screen

Is it possible to modify this so that it can be run by double-clicking in the GUI
and have it ask for Username and Password (and hide the password as it is typed?)

The script looks like (NOte that this was put together by others I have no scripting
skills - myu contribution was the sudo mount line):

#!/bin/sh

if [$# -ne 2]; then
            printf "Requires 2 arguments: $0 <username> <password>\n"
            exit 1
fi
[ -a /home/$1/$1] || mkdir -p /home/$1/$1
sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=$1,password=$2,posix=0uid=$1.gid=$1umask=0077
//10.192.0.14/homes /home/$1/$1
