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. //backupexec@spc2k/backup /home/backup/Veritas/SPC2K smbfs rw 0 0 Can someone help or guide me to some more documentation on this? -- Robert
