I had the same issue, and simply copied the old script from my backup file into the rc.d directory. But what I think needs to be done is the same thing as the NFS mounts, a change to the rc scripts to make sure that they do not get mounted till after the network components are set up. Who should I make this request to.

Before SMBFS was integrated into the base system I used to mount several shared from NT servers at boot time, using lines in /etc/fstab to do so. I cannot get this to work using the integrated SMBFS however. I always get "smbffs: cannt assign requessted address" or something like that - its a message at boot time and doesnt seem to end up in any logs that I have get found. This also prevents the system from booting as it will not get past this point. I can mark the discs as "noauto", in which case the system boots but they do not get mounted (I seem to recall that smbfs had a script in local/rc.d which mounted noauto smbfs filesystems after boot). Adding the "noauto" is what is suggested in the manpage, but for me it simply does nothing. After boot the filesystems will mount quite happily, I have all the correct info in nsmb.conf for the actual mount to succeed, and all the machine names and IP addresses are in /etc/hosts. I have done a web search and come up with nothing. Am I the only one affected by this problem ? It affects all the machines I have upgraded. I realise this is an old problem (and one I should probably have mentioned when the change was first made) but at the time I simply unmountedthe discs and forgot. This week, however, I need to make changes which will ensure these discs are mounted at boot time so I have been looking into it again. I guess I vaguley hoped that updates to stable would have made the problem go away. No such luck :-) Suggestions ? -pcf.
