i'm thinking that it won't let a regular user mount the share because of the
"uid=500" bit in the fstab file... i suppose that's ok. as for it not
mounting at boot time though, that's the weird part. i have the following in
/etc/runlevels/default/:
cupsd
hdparm
local
net.eth0
netmount
numlock
portmap
samba
sshd
sysklogd
vcron
vmware
xdm
and a quick look into netmount shows me that it just mounts all filesystems in
fstab of type "coda,nfs,ncpfs,smbfs" as long as portmap is started:
start() {
local rcfilesystems=""
# Only try to mount NFS filesystems if portmap was started.
# This is to fix "hang" problems for new users who do not
# add portmap to the default runlevel.
if [ -L ${svcdir}/started/portmap ]
then
rcfilesystems="coda,nfs,ncpfs,smbfs"
else
rcfilesystems="coda,ncpfs,smbfs"
fi
ebegin "Mounting network filesystems"
mount -at ${rcfilesystems} >/dev/null
if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]
then
ewend 1 "Could not mount all network filesystems!"
else
eend 0
fi
return 0
}
so here's the kooky part: i decided to run the /etc/init.d/netmount
restart... and it all worked fine. it's just during boot that it seems to be
dying.
