The goal I'm trying to accomplish is pushing the same map to multiple machines (eg via LDAP). I never bothered to do that with my NFS mounts, but I'm using the addition of the SMB shares as an excuse to rework the system before it grows much more. -- Kirk Strauser In my experience, automounting it via fstab doesn't always work correctly. Some folks have great success with it where others don't. For example, I can remove the noauto and with the very same config files and 5 out of 10 times the mount won't take on system startup. When I remove the noauto and cron it for @reboot, it works just fine. I've no idea why but it works for me. -- Micheal Patterson Senior Communications Systems Engineer 405-917-0600 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
