So much so, in fact, that I wrote shell scripts that allow me to encrypt other shell scripts (namely, those that contain multiple net use commands with passwords) using gpg into self-extracting+executing (with help of passphrase) secured shell scripts. If there is interest, I can post my script-making scripts. I should add that I never map the drives, but rather run "net use \\server\some-share /USER:domain\user password" (backslashes are more prevalent than they appear) and use symbolic links into //server (yes, I leave off the share, so I can "cd /net-link/another-share" into whatever share I want).

Any time you have another shell parse the input, you have to escape all the backslashes again (both the escapes and the real things). This will also require it: sh -c "net use j: \\\\\\\\server\\\\host /u:${user} ${password}" Of course, single quotes are the preferred way to deal with backslashes, but they don't get you variable expansion, e.g., as above.
