hi, i had some problems with my smbmounts when the NT server would reboot (haha) and i would lose the connections. the mount point would then give a "input/output" error if i tried to do anything with it.
one day i noticed that my eterm that i mounted those points from was asking for "Password:" (obviously from smbmount), which I couldn't enter as the script had long since died. SO, to FIX it i simply put the password on the command line of smbmount-2.2.x. not very secure however when you are disconnected, it has the password to reconnect you! I have since had no problems! cya Paul
