Subject: Mounting smbfs
Familiar with Webmin way of mounting smbfs type file systems on our Linux boxes, I tried it with one of the FreeBSD 5.3 machines. It works fine, but when rebooted, it sits waiting for a password. After investigating a bit on the web I found that FreeBSD is uses the /etc/nsmb.conf file for configuration and in that file I find information evidently setup by Webmin, for example:
[spc2k:backupexec:backup] workgroup=SPCLOCAL password=xxxxxxxxx addr=192.168.1.13
First, was this properly setup by Webmin? From the comments in the file,
it looks good. Since I am at a remote location, I had someone locally
just hit Ctrl+C during boot to get back in and look at these things. I
go to Webmin and click to mount, but then it wipes out all the mount
points except the one I clicked and does not mount that one. From
looking around the web, I realize Webmin may not be the best way to
manage this, I found this document:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=34247
I am looking for something that can guide me on how to make the entries
in my fstab file. I assume what I have now below is incorrect as the
boot up fails as previously mentioned.
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/backup /home/backup/Veritas/SPC2K smbfs rw 0 0
Can someone help or guide me to some more documentation on this?

Make your fstab entry something like this:
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/backup /home/backup/Veritas/SPC2K smbfs rw,-N,-I=192.168.1.13 0 0
See how that works for you.
