That does work, but I'm looking for a general fix, and the password
**@bob'bob** would cause the above to fail.

The -s option for smbpassword is very nice; being able to join the domain
and so forth without exposing the password to ps is a feature, I think.

I'd use expect except I can't figure it out! :(
