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 -- _______________________________________________ ^ ^ / \ Robert Fitzpatrick \ / \ WebTent Networking, Inc. www.webtent.com \ / \ \ / \\|// \ Office: 813-286-6502 \ / \\\|/// \ Fax: 813-281-2077 \ / \\ ~ ~ // \ Non-Local: 1-888-WEBTENT \ / (\ @ @ /) \ \ / oOOo~(_)~oOOo \ "All your Internet needs under one tent" \ ~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
