I don't have the machine handy at the moment (I am on holidays) but IIRC, this is what I do: 1. I have the filesystems in /etc/fstab: //user@machine/apps /smbfs/apps smbfs noauto,rw 0 0 2. I have the appropriate entries in /etc/nsmb.conf (NOT in /usr/local) 3. I have a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which mainly does this /sbin/mount -o -N,-R3,-cl /smbfs/apps It is a bit more complicated here since I have to traverse a firewall and my script also tests the availability of the servers. It also scans /etc/fstab to automatically mount every smbfs in there. However, IMO, the ideal solution would be to teach amd about smbfs but I don't know enough about amd :-( Maybe one day I will have time to dig into this... -Andre > > Can you tell me how do you mount your shares at boot time? or at least > can i see your /etc/fstab file ? > > Regards, > Razvan > > --- Andrew Brampton <andrew@bramp.freeserve.co.uk> wrote: > > I'm a freeBSD newbie, but I found a solution to your problem, I > > appear to > > have a /root/.nsmbrc file with passwords in which are used to mount > > my > > shares at boot time.
