Re: [SLUG] Newbie Samba mounts

[knet <knet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, ensure init starts both network and netfs at boot time and that 
network is started before netfs; netfs is responsible for mounting the 
SMB shares.

In my case:

  [david@joshua init.d]$ /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep -e network -e netfs
  netfs           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:off   5:on    6:off
  network         0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:off   5:on    6:off
  [david@joshua init.d]$

  [david@joshua init.d]$ ls /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ | grep "S.*net"
  S10network
  S25netfs
  [david@joshua init.d]$

Second, do you need a username and password?  If so, these should be 
provided as options rather than simply using "defaults".

Hope that helps.

knet.
