Any easier way to mount network share drives

Hi,
One thing that's been driving me crazy was how cumbersome it is to mount network shares on my Raspberry PI. For OSX I need to use:
and for windows I need to use:
If either one of my shares requires a password, the password is not masked, which I find to be troubling. If I want to automatically mount the share on boot up, I could add an entry to:
Once again, my network password would be exposed.
So I set out to create a C application to mount either a OSX or Windows share and hide the password. I did this for 2 reasons, one, to find a solution to this problem and two, I wanted to learn C.
The C application works like so. Create a config file e.g. mMovies.cfg:
To execute the app:
The program will ask for your password and masked it.
