the desktop is ubuntu 7.10, using pam-scripts we create smb.cred and run through a text file ~/.shares that reads server:share server:share, etc mount -t cifs //$server/$share $mountpoint -o iocharset=utf8,credentials=$CRED_DIR/smb.cred both samba servers are debian etch's. The desktop box is diskless booting with live-initramfs. the root filesystem is a union of ram and nfs. /home is mounted onto that from another nfs server. / (union de nfs and ram) /home (nfs mount) /home/user/share/mount1 (cifs mount). for some reason, /home isn't present in /etc/mtab (although it is in /proc/mounts) Reading somwhere these days I saw something about nautilus and mtab, so thinking this might be the problem I have also tested mounting the shares on /tmp (because /tmp is present in mtab). /tmp/user/shares/mount1 /tmp/user/shares/mount2 /tmp/user/shares/remote_server/mount3 So, there are some cifs mounts on the /tmp directory and _no_ cifs mounts on my home directory (no softlinks to the shares on /tmp either) . Now when I open nautilus at my home, I can see network traffic to the samba servers!! That has taken me by suprise. It seems Nautilus is doing something like # ls -laR / After getting correct results with pcmanfs, I've also tried thunar. No problem there either. What's the next step? Cheers.
