Ed - that worked great... Thanks!!
I am not sure what I did, but it worked.
What language is that script in? It isn't perl - is it C?

You are on the right track; it took me a while to figure this one out too.
You've got your /etc/fstab file set up correctly. This is how the line for
me
looks, it's just like yours.
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SHARE /mnt/chaos smbfs rw,noauto 0 0
To specify your username and password for the mount, you should create
/etc/nsmb.conf the syntax for this file is shown in
/usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc
Here is an example from my machine:
#nsmb.conf
[CHAOS]
addr=10.0.3.3
[CHAOS:EDWARD]
password=X
Finally, to mount on bootup, create a file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with the
following contents (or something similar; you probably didn't name your
share
CHAOS):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] more /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.chaos.sh
#! /bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
echo " Mounting CHAOS..."
mount /mnt/CHAOS &>2
;;
stop)
echo " Unmounting CHAOS..."
umount /mnt/CHAOS &>2
;;
esac
Also, I make sure my /etc/nsmb.conf file is owned by root and chmod'ed 600
because it contains a password in plaintext.
Don't forget to make sure that your file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d is chmodded
at
least 700 so that it's executable by, at the very least, the owner (should
be
root).
I hope this is clear enough to make some sense to you.
Regards,
Ed
